I first picked up a guitar when I was 11 , about a year after Kurt Cobain kill himself . All I wanted was the Fender guitar he contrive . I never got it , but now there ’s a young Cobain guitar for me to slaver over .
The new Kurt Cobain Fender Mustang is based on the modded interpretation of the Fender guitar Cobain used throughout his career . ( you’re able to see him playing one in the “ Smells Like Teen Spirit ” picture below . ) The most significant distinguishing feature article is the Seymour Duncan JB humbucker , which will help you dial in some of Cobain ’s snarling tone .
OK , it ’s not a guitar revolution . I just really really desire this guitar because when I was a kid , I lusted over the Cobain - designed Jag - Stang . After Cobain expire , the Fender Custom Shop started production on a guitar prototype he ’d designed . A weird loanblend of a guitar , it ’s a mashup of the Jaguar and the Mustang — two authoritative Fender models Cobain loved .

As with the raw Kurt Cobain Mustang , I did n’t require the Jag - Stang for any rational reason . I was just in beloved . It inspired me to do guitar every night and scheme about means to get it . But even after weeding gardens and shovel drive in my region through an entire school year , I could n’t assemble the necessary wad of Johnny Cash to actually corrupt one so I square up for a cheaper , Mexican - made guitar that I recreate for almost a decade . It ’s a ripe thing I never bought that Jag - Stang . The Fender Custom Shop never finished designing a guitar to Cobain ’s care while he was alive , and the guitar was a prodigious bankruptcy . The company stopped making them after just a few years .
What ’s exciting about the new Fender Cobain guitar — and the limited version Kurt Cobain Fender Jaguar free in the Fall — is that unlike the Jag - Stang , the novel guitar are likely well - built . That said , even if I manage to get one , I ’ve still experience to come up some songs worth playing . Not even a $ 1550 Kurt Cobain guitar can corrupt me that . [ FenderviaMusic Radar ]
