Hi !

Before to make a mistake I'd like to know what varnish is on the Jaguar Kurt Cobain.

It's made from a '65 Jaguar if I'm right, so I would say nitrocellulosic (Not sure about the right word in english, but you know, the "old fashion" stuff on expensive guitars) but don't really look like one...

Or a modern polyester ?

Or no varnish at all ??? Or something else ?

Thank you very much :D

gloss lacquer is what the specs say, so yes nitro cellulose.

Oh yes $@!&, I forgot to talk about it...

You're right, I saw "Gloss lacquer" in the specs but I didn't know what that means...


Anyway, thank you very much ! :D

Btw what gauge string are on this thing from factory ?
I see many diffrent sources with 0.10-0.46 but also with 0.10-0.52.
The official product page stated 0.10-0.46 also but i have a feeling that might be a error aswell, no ?

Hi !

No that's correct, it's 10/46.

I took it to set it up because the neck has moved a bit (Classic thing a few months after you buy it), the guy told me it would be better with 10/52. I get it back later today so we'll see...

I wonder how many sales Fender has lost due to the ridiculous 'relic' finish. I would have bought one in an instant if it had the 'new look'
