The Fender "Kurt Cobain" Jaguar, and other similar replicas.

Neck pickup on a tele, or a nice, low output lipstick on an old Dano or one of ibanez's 90s grunge guitars.

I don't know what you mean by that post, but I'm buying a 1994 immaculate MIJ in the morning.

Gutted. Went to pick up my new Fender Jaguar tonight and was shocked by the shoddy quality. The nut was barely nicked, never mind expertly cut and the neck needs a shim like a beer mat. You could limbo under the strings. They've got one more chance to send me a good 'un, but to tell you the truth I'm not feeling the love anymore. Nearly £750 and there isn't even an embossed neck plate. And it's M.I.M, which I didn't realise at the beginning.

I hope you are sending it back and calling off the deal Bubba!

They look really cool! do you guys remember the Fender Jagstang that Cobain helped create. It was a mix of the Mustang and the Jaguar guitars.

I convinced my dad to buy me one of the originals when they were first released. I hadn't been playing guitar long and I was a huge Nirvana fan. Unfortunately this piece of shit was one of the most unplayable guitars I have ever owned to date and it sounded like complete ass. I don't know what I was expecting. If you touched the whammy bar it was immediately out of tune. The neck felt like one of those cheap plastic kids guitars you see Best Buy trying to sell. It was just a train wreck of a guitar.
10 years later E-bay was my savior. Mine was mint and barely played stored in the case. Some bozo in betcha can't guess where (Seattle) paid almost double what the original selling price was.

Yes, I did. I bought this instead. 1994 vintage, as new condition. I'm not kidding, I think it's been in a nitrogen bubble for eighteen years.

You know what? I generally hate "reliced" guitars, but I think that Fender have got it bang on with the Kurt Cobain Jag. I almost wish I'd bought one. It's been reliced for a purpose - to recreate an iconic instrument, not just to fool people that you've been on the road for thirty or forty years, or at least bought an instrument that has. See one in the flesh and the desire to own it is immense. It's a beautiful guitar and it probably pwns.
