NAMM is just a few days away now, and another juicy piece of news has recently emerged.  Fender recently released a signature Kurt Cobain Jaguar, and now it seems they will also be releasing a Kurt Cobain Mustang!

This new guitar will be on offer in three different finishes, and each will be available left handed.  The finishes are Fiesta Red, Sonic Blue, and Lake Placid Blue w/ stripe.

Inspired by his arsenal of modded guitars, the new Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang takes you back there, with highly distinctice features including the classic 24” Mustang scale length, an angled single coil Mustang neck pickup and ferocious Seymour Duncan JB humbucking bridge pickup mounted directly to the body.  There are dual on-off/phase in-out switches for each pickup, a polyester-finished alder body and an adjustomatic bridge with dynamic vibrato tailpiece.

Can we expect a lower price than the Jaguar? And will it be easily available in Europe?

There are already stores in Europe offering the guitars for pre-order e.g http://www.dv247.com/guitars/fender-kurt-cobain-mustang-left-handed-electric-guitar-fiesta-red–93166 Price is a little less than the Jaguars

The website doesn’t mention.

These look pretty nice! I’m so tempted to switch to right handed though. I know I won’t like it but I just love guitars and hate how limited we are. These are very cool, but I wish we could get more support from Squier. Squier has the vintage modified Jaguar for $299 and it’s a beautiful guitar, concentric knobs, and Duncan Designed pickups.

Man I’m in love with these things.

Always wanted a left handed mustang, before this it was a case of needing to import one from japan (if you wanted new) and the cost for me would have been well over £1300GBP so I’m glad this has come out. I am so saving up for this!!!!

There’s only one dilemma…which colour? I’m digging the Sonic Blue, very retro. Having such a retro phase right now, I think the new Fender Greta amp is a little beauty – an ideal partner perhaps? :)

I like the fiesta red, I don’t know why…. I have always idolized the sonic blue!!!

I might check the amp out although I love my Blackstar HT-5 ;-)

Sonic Blue is the clear winner to me, super classic. I also love that pickup comfiguration, HB bridge, slanted single neck, definitely doing that whenever I feel cool enough to get a custom lefty made.

Why does it only have “Mustang” written on the headstock on the right handed one’s?

Reply

Neal January 23, 2012 at 6:58 pm

For whatever reason the lefties have that omitted. Japanese Fenders are all like that, although i’m not too sure where these are made.

WITH AN ORIGINAL FENDER CASE…OK!!!
