From Our Research Team:Get Your Hands on Cobain's Hot-rodded Axe!Perfect for players that favor modified guitars, the FENDER® Kurt Cobain Mustang® solidbody electric guitar was inspired by Kurt Cobain's collection of modded guitars. This isn't your typical Fender Mustang - with a Seymour Duncan JB Humbucker™ in the bridge position and an Adjusto-Matic bridge - but then again Kurt wasn't your typical guitarist. Kurt Cobain favored his Mustang for its size, affordability, and feel. With a traditional 24" scale length, a C-shaped maple neck with rosewood fretboard, and a rocking set of pickups, you may find a new favorite too in the Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang®.Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
Inspired by Kurt Cobain Let's face it, Kurt Cobain probably wouldn't have jumped at the chance to have a guitar designed for him. His fans loved him for playing music his own way, with what he had to work with. That's actually why Fender was inspired to create the Kurt Cobain Mustang. Kurt favored heavily-modded Mustangs - they were lightweight and easy to play, they were usually inexpensive, and were easy enough to modify if he wanted. The Kurt Cobain Mustang doesn't feature the all the traditional Mustang appointments, but that's how Kurt liked it. Not your typical Mustang Fender's Kurt Cobain Mustang features the same 24" scale length and unique body shape as the original Mustangs, but with some noticeable deviations. Most stock Mustangs had a pair of single-coil pickups. The Kurt Cobain Mustang packs a Mustang single-coil in the neck position, but sports a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge position for a screaming hot output. Also, the Adjusto-Matic bridge is a welcome addition and provides excellent intonation. A New Take on a Classic Design Fender didn't set out to make an exact replica with the Kurt Cobain Mustang. It's a new guitar based on a classic, perhaps underrated design. A guitarist like Kurt only plays a guitar if it feels and sounds right, and for no other reason. The Kurt Cobain Mustang is made to stand on its own, providing you with a solid tonal foundation and exceptional playability. It just happens to pay tribute to an alternative rock icon too.

Jon, Cushing, MN Reviewsbased on 2 reviewsFender Kirt Cobain Mustang
by Karen Scharlau from Glenview, IL USA
The Kirt Cobain Mustang is a great guitar for getting a powerful sound from a small mustang profile. The humbucking pickup really makes this guitar a winner.

Even though I no longer listen to Nirvana, Cobain was the reason I picked up a guitar. I've got an American Strat and Tele but as fun as they are, neither guitar had a natural "anger" built inside. ... read more [+]This guitar has a bite built in and has an incredible array of tones thanks to the switching configuration. The short scale is nice for me since I don't have giant hands. I grab this guy when I'm looking for a tonally sweet distortion monster and combined with a duecetone rat, I can always find the sound I'm looking for. All that said, it wouldn't be my go to guitar for most clean play. The switches really aren't made for on-the-fly adjustments like a strat or tele and the short scale seems to affect the sustain. I love the bridge and contribute the sturdiness to the Nirvana tone (or lack of vibrato). Having no intention of using the whammy bar I don't have an opinion on the tuning stability but I have been in and out of drop D with no real tuning issues (unlike my strat). This guitar is fast, violent, diverse and unique. More than pleased and even pleasantly surprised by it. Nice work Fender close [-]
