Up for sale, a 1997 Fender Jag-Stang in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, finished in Sonic Blue. From the original "Made in Japan" run of the Jag-Stang, this Fender is a no-nonsense tool perfectly suited to creating both the distorted churn and raw single coil cut heard across Nirvana's catalog.
Famously known for being designed by Kurt Cobain when he took two polaroids of a Mustang and Jaguar and cut them together, the Jag Stang is in-step with the features of both of these classic short scale Fender models, while also satisfying the higher gain pickup needs of Nirvana's chief architect. The guitar weighs 7lbs 4oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .820” 1st fret, .915” 12th fret.
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 7 1/4" radius
-Frets: Slender, leveled/crowned, no wear
-Scale Length: 25 1/2"
-Nut Width: 1 9/16", bone
-Tuners: Kluson-style
-Serialization: "Made in Japan," V-prefix
-Factory Markings: “Designed by Kurt Cobain” decal on peghead
Body Specs:
-Wood: Alder
-Pickups: ST-Vintage single coil, Dragster humbucker
-Controls: Volume, Tone, On/Off/On pickup switch x2
-Hardware: Bridge with barrel saddles, Mustang vibrato
-Plastics: White pearloid pickguard, pointer knobs
The gloss Sonic Blue finish exhibits a few sticker “tan lines” on the back and vertical checking on top. There are various dings and scuffs from use (most prominent at the lower bout perimeter) and light buckle rash on the bass side of the back. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth to the palm, with several shallow nicks along the profile length.
A modern Fender gigbag is included.
