(ARCHIVE) Fender Kurt Cobain Road Worn Jaguar Left Handed Sunburst 2011

- Guitarchives
Fender Kurt Road Worn Jag, lefty, sunburst relic, made in Mexico 2011. Very few guitar players changed the music world as much as Kurt Cobain. You can buy a new Kurt model these days, but that's not the same guitar as this. This is a first year example of the Road Worn series version, so it's finished in nitro and given the relic treatment. It's got the Kurt-specs: three way toggle switch, three knob control plate, tune-o-matic style bridge, Dimarzio humbuckers. All that adds up to a big, hairy tone. There's heaps of crunchy, warm mids and a big, dirty low end wallop, it's very convincing indeed. The neck and headstock show off some gorgeous birds-eye grain in the maple too, it's a lovely piece of wood and feels great in the hand. These come up in this part of the world approximately never, so if you're a southpaw Nirvana tragic who's been waiting for the right moment, you've probably got one chance. Entertain us.
