Could they please just release a Squier Classic Vibe, or the Classic Player in more colours?

Not much of a need with the Jagmaster and Jaguar already available.

Priced at $1,849.99, the Kurt Cobain Jaguar aims to replicate the legendary singer-songwriterâ€™s signature road-worn axe in minute detail, down to its custom controls, dog-eared aesthetic and visible wear and tear. Sporting an aged finish and dual DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion and PAF DP-103 36th anniversary humbucking pickups, plus bound rosewood fretboard with pearloid position inlays, it hopes to replicate the actual instrumentâ€™s look and feel.

uhhhhhh... if they want a true Teh Kurtdz Jaguar, they'd have to make it at least 1/4 the price. The reason he got them is because they were cheap and available, right?

I kinda like the news but somehow it seems a little wrong.

Kurt wanted the Jagstang to be affordable for youngsters, not the average business man... so in light of that it gores against his punk ethos.

I'm very excited to see one of these out of general interest.

Once I do I reckon it'll be the last guitar I'll want to own, play & enjoy. So right but so wrong, like fast food. Very expensive fast food at that.

You can transport this guitar in the back of your porsche wearing your designer-nirvanashirt.

1,849.99 USD = 1,135.57 GBP

LAWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLL

You will be as poor as when Kurdt first started out.

I could start telling you the guitars it would be better to spend it what most likely will be more like Â£1,800 on but I would be here FOREVER.

Overpriced unnecessarily detail-correct Cobain relic model. Could anyone at Fender have been paying LESS attention to him and anything he said in his short life?

... Except of course those guys that designed the Jag-Stang for him?

AMIRITE?!

Lawl indeed.

I've been rather blind to the exchange rate, but that seems not a far cry from the pricey CIJ Teh Krusdtz models, namely the Y153,300 HJG-66KC VI that's been out for years now.

LUNK.

The Jagmaster is pretty far removed and the VM Jaguar is pretty much another Jagmaster.

I'm only buying it if the gaffer tape is included.

I thought you meant you wanted a Classic Vibe Kurt style Jaguar, which both of these pretty much are - apart from the scale on the Jagmaster and the lack of strangle switch and no upper bout controls, but what can you expect for the budget price and who would use them if they were there? If you mean a Classic Vibe 2 x single coil 'proper' Jaguar they may not think this is worthwhile due to the amount of 2 x single coil Teles and Strats plus the Duo Sonic which are already available.

The Classic Vibe Jaguar is pretty much exactly what Kurt did to his Jaguar. He ditched/locked everything they removed.

Do you mean the Vintage Modified Jaguar? I don't want MM to feel he needs to go off on one telling you how wrong you are.

I just get tired of all the variants, signature offsets etc. when I don't think we have basic proper models at a decent price point.

The J Mascis is pretty popular for this reason, though some are not too fond of the colours or lack of Trem lock, and there's no guarantee it'll be CV quality.

As someone who's more interested in Jags and maybe Mustangs I'm a little bummed there isn't an equivalent.
