FENDER KURT COBAIN JAGUAR New for September 2011

Meticulously modeled on the battered and highly unusual 1965 Jaguar
Wielded in the 1990’s by Kurt Cobain as front man of Nirvana.
Road Worn body and hardware…available in LH or RH!


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.
