The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar is a meticulously crafted recreation of Kurt Cobain's legendary left-handed 1965 Jaguar. This iconic guitar fueled the raw, gritty sound that defined the grunge movement and a generation. Now available in right- and left-handed versions, guitarists everywhere can unleash the same snarling tone that shaped rock music history.

Custom Pickups Provide Legendary Tone

The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar is loaded with custom DiMarzio pickups—a DP103 PAF 36th Anniversary in the neck and a DP100 Super Distortion in the bridge—for powerful, versatile sound. The PAF delivers warm, balanced tone with smooth highs, while the Super Distortion serves up aggressive midrange and crunchy distortion perfect for grunge and hard rock.

Unique Controls Offer Total Sound Customization

Famously modified by Cobain himself, this Jaguar features unconventional controls for shaping your sound. Two volume knobs—one for each pickup—and a master tone knob give you complete control over your tone. A three-position toggle switch selects neck pickup only, bridge pickup only or both pickups together. Combined with the Adjusto-Matic bridge, these controls provide a high degree of tonal flexibility uncommon in most guitars.

Iconic Style and Playability

This Jaguar turns heads with its iconic design and premium components. It has an alder body with an NOS (New Old Stock) lacquer finish, a bound rosewood fretboard and a Stratocaster headstock. Gotoh tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability. Its C-shaped neck and 9.5" fretboard radius feel instantly comfortable to play. Overall, this guitar delivers exceptional style, tone and playability for guitarists seeking a premium instrument with a story as unique as its sound.

Premium Accessories Included

The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar comes with a custom black textured vinyl hardshell case for protection and portability. It also includes an exclusive book detailing the guitar's history, with photos from Nirvana's early era and an interview with their guitar tech. These premium accessories complete the package, allowing you to appreciate the influential role this guitar played in music history.
