Has anyone heard anything at all about Fender's reissue of Kurt's Nevermind-era Jaguar? It was sort of unofficially announced here about three weeks ago:

http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/blogs/gear-up/fender-to-sell-collectible-replicas-of-kurt-cobains-guitar-20110810

And yet there hasn't been a peep since, from any other news outlet or from Fender themselves. WHAT THE $@!&?

wouldn't be suprised if they put it off, really anyone can figure out that its alot cheaper to mod the jag yourself than to buy the replica.

I think late september which will be the 20th anniversary of Nevermind. I think it looks cool but thats a lot of money. If I could get one for the right price I would buy one. I wonder if it will hurt the value of the first Jagstang or increase the value?

I once saw one on the internet, could have been eBay, maybe not, as a 'Kurt Cobain Re-Issue' Jag, and it was bob on, whether it was a fake or what i don't know, but there you go, this was a few years ago.

I'm guessing what you saw was a personal custom job, since this reissue is brand new for 2011, and is also supposed to come with a bunch of Nirvana-related goodies. It's just frustrating that they'll go ahead and announce it, but provide next to no details at all about it, especially knowing how hard-to-get these artist-branded reissues are. Gretsch released a replica George Harrison Duo Jet last year and only made TWENTY of them. WTF.

So is it Made In America? If so that seems priced about right.

I would prefer a MIM or MIJ non reliced Reissue around $800 though.

What would really be icing on the cake is a Comp Mustang.

I'll wait for Marr sig, apart from Gotoh bridge and _maybe_ humbuckers I don't see anything appealing to me on this model... mind you I respect KC. 8)

There were CIJ Kurt Cobain inspired Jags and Mustangs. Both normal left and righty and lefty style rightys.

I'd be more interested in a Utero era Tele though.

they could start a yearly kurt cobain colection... or put out 3 at once

this year would be the jag

next year a competition mustang

the year after would be the vandalism strat ;)

3 signature guitars now that would be awesome and then maybe to get squier in the nevermind aniversary they'd bring in a squier jagstang ;) (just my opinion)

Made in Mexico. Too much money. Would of liked to see an new version for around $899. I wouldn't buy this but it's still interesting I guess.

The In Utero mustang would be nice. the competition mustang was just original only it had a new paint jobb :? Hope they remake the jag-stang as kurt wanted: locked vibrato, tune-o-matic bridge, JB bridge pickup and texas special neck pickup. :x
