Fender Jag Stang: Grunge Icon
Live demo of Fender Jag Stang 1999.
Designed by Kurt Cobain comprising features from Fender’s Jaguar (Jag) and Mustang (stang) guitars. I bought this from a ‘player’ who hated the colour so much he never took the tag off and couldn’t wait to get rid of it – to me! But I love the style!
