Description
Fender introduces one of its most distinctive signature models ever, the Kurt Cobain Jaguar-meticulously modeled on the battered and highly unusual 1965 Jaguar that Cobain wielded during the heady early-´90s era when Nirvana ruled rock and led a musically stunning and culturally subversive movement.Fender craftsmen have reproduced Cobain´s battle-hardened left-handed Jaguar down to the last unusual detail, including its worn finish, dual humbucking pickups and unique electronics and controls (which were already in place when Kurt acquired the guitar in summer 1991).Unique features include an alder body with Road Worn aged finish and hardware treatment, bound fretboard with pearloid dot markers, Stratocaster headstock shape with 1950s-style "spaghetti" logo, DiMarzio humbucking DP103 PAF 36th Anniversary neck pickup and DP100 Super Distortion bridge pickup, triple knurled "chrome-dome" knob configuration (volume-volume-tone), three-position toggle switch, black chrome Adjusto-Matic bridge and Gotoh sealed tuners.
Available in right- and left-handed versions.Accessories include a black textured vinyl hard-shell case and an exclusive Fender Kurt Cobain book with photos and commentary by Charles Peterson and an insightful interview with Nirvana guitar tech Earnie Bailey.
Guitarist Dave Murray of seminal U.K.
metal heroes Iron Maiden has been banging his head with Fender since the mid-´70s.
Murray recently collaborated with Fender on a signature Stratocaster guitar based on his ´57 model, previously owned by late great Free guitarist Paul Kossoff.
The Dave Murray Stratocaster boasts a supercharged HSH configuration, DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary DP103 neck pickup, DiMarzio Super Distortion DP100 bridge pickup and a Fender vintage-style middle pickup.
Other features include a lacquer finish and a flatter soft V-shaped neck with satin back.
Vintage tweed hard-shell case included.
