Few artists in music history can be credited with changing the industry nearly overnight and continuing to influence music culture three decades after the height of their popularity. Kurt Cobain and his bandmates in Nirvana appeared on the scene in the early '90s as generational talents who combined raucous, heavy tones, punk-infused energy and melodic hooks to create a sound that quickly attracted millions of fans and established grunge and alternative rock as a genre with legitimate mainstream appeal.Although Kurt was seen playing a variety of Fender guitars over the years, his Fender Jaguar and Mustang remain the most iconic due to their use on the "Nevermind" tour and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video. Kurt designed the Jag-Stang to combine his favorite elements of both instruments and brought it to life with help from the Fender Custom Shop in 1993.Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's seminal record "Nevermind," this Jag-Stang comes equipped with the same features that made it Kurt's ideal instrument. The alder body delivers a punchy tone perfect for big power chords, the 24" short-scale reduces string tension for easier playing, and the 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard with maple neck has a comfortable feel that won't fatigue your hands when chording. The vintage-style single-coil and custom humbucking pickups are perfect for recreating Kurt's classic tones, while the Mustang slider switches provide the flexibility to dial in four distinct settings for a variety of in or out-of-phase tones.

One of the tuners broke after the first restring and setup so that wasn?t cool. Thought about returning it but I like the guitar overall so I replaced the tuners with some kluson knockoffs and we are good to go. 

A good setup will do wonders for this thing. Out of the box it?s not very good at holding a tune. I would suggest moving the springs up on the vibrato to the highest setting. This will help keep it in tune better. Plus make sure to lube everything up with good with some tri flow. 
Also, the pickups are set way low on the neck and again this will all have to be adjusted once you get it. I was less than enthused about the neck pickup until it was moved up a bunch. I was actually thinking of swapping the neck pickup out as it sounded so dull. But again after a proper setup this guitar is a blast to play! The neck is awesome for smaller hands. Way easy to move up and down the neck at lightning speed! 
Paired with my twin reverb and my trusty DS1 I sound just like Kurt!
