A classic guitar with extra features

Kurt Cobain needs no introduction: In his short life, the late Nirvana frontman changed the landscape of Rock music and left an immense legacy behind. Although Cobain created his own instrument with the Fender Jag-Stang, an interesting blend of Jaguar and Mustang, a modified Fender Jaguar was his guitar of choice for the majority of his career. Accordingly, Fender has pulled out a great many stops for the Kurt Cobain signature model, including "hotter" pickups, high-quality machine heads, and an "aged" look. The guitar - shown here in its left-handed version - also comes with a hardshell case and a book about Kurt Cobain, making it a must-have for true fans.

Trimmed for maximum performance

The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar LH features a solid alder body and a bolt-on maple neck, and the single coil pickups of the original have given way here to two DiMarzio "Super Distortion" humbuckers that make it easy to crunch up even the cleanest of amplifiers. The dual-circuit "lead/rhythm" design of the original Jaguar has been largely retained, albeit with a three-way toggle switch instead of the three slide switches for selecting the pickups, and the latter are governed by two dedicated volume controls and a master tone control with knurled "chrome dome" knobs. Last but not least, the headstock features a set of high-quality Gotoh machine heads.

Modern touches

The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar could well be described as the Holy Grail for Nirvana fans, but that would not be doing this guitar justice. While it is of course the go-to instrument for fans of the influential Grunge band, the instrument still has a lot to offer players even leaving aside the musical legacy that spawned it. The DiMarzio pickups make this guitar an excellent choice for proponents of Rock, Metal, Grunge, and Punk music, and its updated circuitry significantly reduces unwanted noise compared to its legendary ancestor. On the cosmetic side, the Kurt Cobain Jaguar's vintage look makes it highly appealing for those who prefer retro instruments, while its more modern features also include an Adjusto-Matic bridge that provides enhanced string action adjustment. Since its namesake was famously left-handed, this version of the guitar is the most authentic option for collectors, but there is no reason why it shouldn't be played live too.

About Fender

Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today’s music industry.

For Rock and much more

Leo Fender originally created the Jaguar as a guitar for Classical and Jazz guitarists. A generation of Surf guitarists then made it their own, and even Grunge icon Kurt Cobain made this guitar his tool of choice. The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar continues what he started and provides the perfect tool for playing Rock and heavier styles. In short: You don't have to be in a Nirvana tribute band to enjoy this signature model - any left-handed player who is on the hunt for a high-quality Fender guitar with humbuckers and plenty of output is sure to find what they are looking for in the Kurt Cobain Jaguar.

Great guitar!
Jkvns 27.10.2021
This is a great guitar. I have loved every part of it. The only problem I've had with it is the tremolo bar isn't tight enough but after some research this is the case with most fender jaguar / jazzmaster tremolo bars. This guitar has an amazing clean sound and sounds great with distortion too! This rhythm circuit is an extremely useful feature too. I love this guitar and I highly recommend it.

Great choice for left handed players
Yanki 09.06.2021
Capable of producing great high-end tones, delivering mighty and aggressive tones but without becoming muddy.everything was clear and in check, even at max gain. Great sound with a beautiful paint job. Besides all of the pros, bit expensive for a Mexican guitar.

excellent
JozaHC 17.04.2023
A bit pricey and with some issues, but nothing QC cannot fix. I highly suggest anyone to use this service as they inspect the guitar and set it up. The first guitar had some manufacturing defects beyond fixing, so I had to wait for a new one to arrive, but that blame lies on Fender not on Thomann, and since I paid additionally for their QC everything was perfect when it arrived. Being a Nirvana and KC fan, all you need is this guitar and a Behringer TM300 instead of that overpriced SansAmp and you can have some good meaty distortion sounds (at least until they reissue his Mustangs, hopefully this year for 30th In Utero anniversary, hehe)
