Up for sale, a 2003 Fender Jaguar ‘66 vintage reissue Kurt Cobain model HJG-66KC in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Easily the rarest iteration of the Kurt Cobain Jaguar platform, this guitar was part of an small run made for Fender Japan in collaboration with the Japanese music store chain Ikebe. Officially model HJG-66KC VI, this Jaguar features USA-made Dimarzio DP103 PAF and DP100 Super Distortion humbuckers, a Tune-o-matic bridge, a reconfigured control array, and a bound rosewood fingerboard.

The Ikebe model had three sub-models: the IV, V and VI. The VI model seen here reflects all of the modifications made to Kurt's Jag, with a three knob control layout and Gibson-style three-way toggle switch on the hexagonal Lead Circuit plate governing the USA-made Dimarzio humbucker pair. The DP103 PAF in the neck position has a traditional Gibson-style tonal range with excellent dynamics and articulation, full and powerful while still retaining great articulation. The DP100 Super Distortion in the bridge position is Dimarzio's iconic high powered humbucker, designed to kick your amp into overdrive and perfectly tailored to Nirvana-style ripping drive. This Kurt Cobain HJG-66KC has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The unique Sunburst gloss finish is highly accurate to Cobain's guitar with a more yellow center (given the sealer coat Fender was using on their Sunbursts in the mid 60s), with a simulated faded central ring of red and dark black edges. Exceptionally clean, cosmetic wear is limited to some minor dings along the body perimeter and faint pick scuffing across the strum path. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.

A padded faux leather gigbag is included.
