Few musicians in music history have changed the industry as rapidly as Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana. In the early '90s, they burst onto the scene with a unique sound that blended rough, heavy tones, punk energy, and catchy melodies. Their music turned grunge and alternative rock into a mainstream phenomenon. Although Kurt played various Fender guitars, his Fender Jaguar® and Mustang® are the most iconic, thanks to their appearance in the 'Nevermind' tour and the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' video. In 1993, with the help of the Fender Custom Shop, Kurt designed the Jag - Stang® by combining his favorite features of these two guitars. This Jag - Stang, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's 'Nevermind', has all the features that made it Kurt's go - to instrument. The alder body produces a punchy tone for powerful chords. The 24” short - scale reduces string tension for easy playing, and the 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboard with a maple neck feels great and won't tire your hands. The vintage - style single - coil and custom humbucking pickups can recreate Kurt's classic tones, and the Mustang slider switches offer four distinct settings for different tones.
