2012 Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang Competition Lake Placid Blue w Stripes MIJ Japan

When Kurt Cobain hit the stage, it was very often with a Mustang® guitar – an enigmatic anti-hero figure with an esoteric anti-hero instrument. It’s with great pride then that Fender introduces the Kurt Cobain Mustang guitar, which evokes the man, the band, the sound and the times, and gives an authentically crafted nod to one of the most unlikely guitars to ever find itself at the center of a musical maelstrom.

Kurt Cobain liked to perform live with slightly more diminutive guitars, like the Mustang and Jaguar® guitar, which better fit his hands and his reach. Weighs in at 7lbs and 3 oz, play it for days, combined with the short scale makes for an extremely comfortable and versatile guitar.

Inspired by his arsenal of modded guitars, the Kurt Cobain Mustang® guitar takes you back there, with highly distinctive features including an angled single-coil Mustang neck pickup and ferocious Seymour Duncan® JB humbucking bridge pickup mounted directly to the body, dual on-off/phase in-out switches for each pickup, a polyester-finished alder body and an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with dynamic vibrato tailpiece.

Condition is 9/10 for small marks in the finish, non-original tremolo arm.

Condition

Beautiful, one or two hard to photograph marks on the instrument’s poly finish, nothing where you see and touch. This guitar is completely stock, very clean indeed. There are light swirls in the finish which can only really be seen in harsh lighting. The neck is great, the frets and fretboard are clean and show only a small amount of wear, there are light pick marks on the plastics, light scratches around the controls.  See the pictures, ask for more. As always there are more and better pictures at my own site, deegearlocker dotcom. Comes in a clean and secure Fender hard case in excellent condition with keys, original tags and tremolo arm.
