Fender Jag-Stang
Fender · electric guitar
The Fender Jag-Stang is the offset solidbody Kurt Cobain designed by combining elements of the Jaguar and Mustang, with a short scale, a humbucker/single-coil pairing and a Mustang-style vibrato. It has a punchy, slightly raw voice that handles both jangly cleans and thick distortion, suited to alternative rock and grunge. Its short scale and offset comfort make it distinctive and player-friendly.
