Pre Owned 2012 Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang Dark Lake Placid Blue With Gig Bag

When Kurt Cobain hit the stage, it was very often with a Mustang guitar - an enigmatic anti-hero figure with an esoteric anti-hero instrument.  Some yeaers ago Fender introduced the Kurt Cobain Mustang model, which was made for just a few years and can be hard to find.  It 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.

Kurt Cobain liked Mustang guitars a lot. For one, he preferred offbeat guitars that didn't cost zillions of dollars, and the Mustang certainly fit those two criteria. Also, being somewhat physically diminutive himself, he liked to perform live with slightly more diminutive guitars, like the Mustang, which better fit his hands and his reach.

We just took this one in, which was built in 2012.  It's Lake Placid Blue, with the competition stripe, giving it a classic look.  But, to match what Cobain played, Fender made it with the appropriate modifications.

Inspired by his arsenal of tweaked guitars, the Kurt Cobain Mustang takes you back there, with highly distinctive features including an angled single-coil Mustang neck pickup and ferocious Seymour Duncan® JB humbucking bridge pickup mounted directly to the body, dual on-off/phase in-out switches for each pickup, an alder body and an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with dynamic vibrato tailpiece.

The guitar is great shape, comes with a gig bag, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  For fans of Nirvana, or just anyone wanted a hot-rodded Mustang, this is a great score.
