Fender JagStang Reissue Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)
No longer available at zZounds
1 humbucker. 1 single-coil pickup.
Overview
Whether he liked it or not, Kurt Cobain provided the voice and sound of a generation. During the 1990s, few artists left their mark as broadly or deeply as Cobain and his band - Nirvana. By combining the raw, do-it-yourself punk rock ethic with extremely catchy power pop songs, the Seattle-based trio turned their hometown into the Mecca of all things Grunge.
Designed in collaboration with the late Cobain, the Jag-Stang reissue blends features from two of the most distinctive guitar designs of the last 50 years - the Jaguar(R) and Mustang(R). In 1993, Cobain came to Fender with some cut-up photographs of his two favorite guitars - stuck together. And, in the end - what transpired was an amazing guitar featuring a basswood body and a 24 in. short-scale maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard.
The Jag-Stang(R) guitar's tones come courtesy of 1 humbucker (bridge), a vintage-style single-coil (neck) and a Fender(R) floating vibrato. The Jag-Stang comes complete with 3-position slide on/off phase switch (neck pickup), 3-position slide on/off switch (bridge pickup) and its own gig bag. Rewrite your own chapter in musical history!

LOVE IT
CARE FOR IT
THRASH IT !
Sound
this guitar when combined with hard hitting boss pedals such as ds-1/2 can give an sound with such a kick it nearly blows you away ! (have also found to sound well with ml-2) also, personally, this guitar has a very nice 'raw' sound. if you dont already own any form of chorus pedal or have anyway of adding chorus to this guitar please do so. the results will speak for them selves. the only downfall for the sound would be the original pick-ups but these can be replaced if needed but to be perfectly honest if you have this guitar you wont care less. 9/10
Features
it has the mustangs infamous dynamic vibrato bridge which for me just makes it all feel and play like a mustang a nice 24" scale and in most cases (as jagstangs are being a rare endangered guitar) they have a alder body. the only problem i have found with this guitar was simply catching my finger on the switchs while playing live. THATS IS IT !!
Ease of Use
what can i say ? it sounds imense, it plays like a mustang, it has the likability of a jaguar and the stinging full sound of a jaguar !
Quality
never fell more in love with any other guitar the product is not really well thought of as it was just Kurt Cobain's 2 favorite guitars slung together but i dont think i have ever had any problems with the wiring or any faults ! apart from teh odd ocation were my… read more cable comes out of the jack but that could just be down to me as i have had similar problems with a number of guitars.
Value
due to the price, rarity and demand for the jagstang (as they are not making anymore reissues as of yet) it is worth buying if you are a collector but it a superb buy.
Manufacturer Support
i am a big fan of Fender guitars and i must say this by far is my favorite.
The Wow Factor
if i could have a love child with this guitar i would. i LOVE IT more than any other guitar i have ever played.
