Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang, Rosewood Fingerboard - Sonic Blue
When Kurt Cobain hit the stage, it was very often with a Mustang guitar - an enigmaticanti-hero figure with an esoteric anti-hero instrument. It's with great pride then that Fender introduces the Kurt Cobain Mustang, which evokes the man, the band, the sound and the times, and gives an authentically crafted nod to one of the most unlikely guitars to ever find itself at the center of a musical maelstrom. See for yourself - go back and watch the famous 1991 video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit, "and there he is and there it is slung over his shoulder. Or think back to when you saw them on the '93-'94 In Utero tour, when he seldom went onstage with anything but a Mustang. Quite often and especially later on, Mustangs were a big part of what Kurt Cobain was all about, musically. Inspired by his arsenal of modded guitars, the new Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang takes you back there, with highly distinctive features including the classic 24" Mustang scale length, an angled single-coil Mustang neck pickup and ferocious Seymour Duncan JB humbuckingbridge pickup mounted directly to the body, dualon-off/phase in-out switches for each pickup, a polyester-finished alder body and an Adjusto-Matic bridge with dynamic vibrato tailpiece. Available in Fiesta Red, Sonic Blue and Dark Lake Placid Blue with stripe, and in right- and left-handed models.
