Description
Fender’s Kurt Cobain Jaguar is a new version of the battered and highly unusual 1965 Jaguar that Cobain wielded in the early 90s, when Nirvana ruled rock and led a dizzying and culturally subversive musical movement. Features include an alder body, bound fingerboard with pearl dot markers, Stratocaster headstock with ’50s-style ‘spaghetti’ logo, DiMarzio DP103 PAF 36th Anniversary humbucking neck pickup and DP100 Super Distortion bridge pickup, ‘chrome-dome’ triple knob configuration (volume, tone), three-way switch, black adjustable bridge and waterproof Gotoh tuner. Available in left-hand and right-hand versions. Accessories include a black textured vinyl hard case and an exclusive Fender Kurt Cobain book with photos and commentary by Charles Peterson, as well as an interview with Nirvana guitarist Earnie Bailey.
