Designed by Kurt Cobain in cooperation with the Fender instrument company, the Fender JagStang is essentially a Frankenstein of Fender guitars. The guitar's features are as follows:
-24" short scale neck
-1
single-coil pickup (neck position)
-1
humbucker pickup (bridge position)
-Fender Mustang Dynamic Vibrato
bridge and
tailpiece
-

-Phaser switches for each pickup
Although Fender Japan reissued the JagStang in 2003 (after having discontinued the 1994-2001 line), Fender stopped importing the guitar in 2005. The original prototype of the guitar was given by Courtney Love to Peter Buck of R.E.M. after Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994.
