I've read reviews on the net and they say, "Cobain wouldv'e hated it...Its a worthless piece of junk". Is this true? I mean, I'm a die hard nirvana fan, there my favourite band (of course).....So are they??

I owned a blue Jag Stang about ten years ago. The hardest thing for me was bumping my strumming hand on the pickup selector switches. They are in a really bad place.

But for a guitar not made in the US, it was put together well and sounded decent. If I'd had the time and desire I would've swapped the pickups out for Seymour Duncans, and had a pro move the switches. The thing I liked about it the best is it is the shortest scale guitar I've ever owned. You could fly up and down the neck.

Nice Idea moving the switches and dropping some Seymour's in....

That's what some of younger guitarists (no offense guys) don't understand before they play a Jag-Stang or Mustang. They see it and think it's cool and would play it and say the switches get in the way , or they hit them with their hands while strumming. I was the same way, I REALLY wanted a Mustang.
(this is back when Kurdt was alive) I finally played one and the practicality (for me) outweighed the cool factor. Not to say I don't think they LOOK cool.
But the LOOK isn't going to hit the right chord, or help with tone. I went for an in between with the Cyclone.......no switches. 8)

Or a Jaguar or Jazzmaster for that matter. I love them both but they aren't for everyone.
My main is a Strat, but my 2nd go-to is a '02 American Deluxe Toronado HH. Suits me much better.

i can see how the switches could get in the way.... i personally like the trait of the switches (especially if you mod it to HSS) because it offers some nice combinations.... that being said, i would KILL for a competition blue cyclone..... such cool little guitars are the jaguar and mustang families :lol:
