i'll take a switch plate and one of the necks, plz.

I think those tuners, crammed control plate, boring/ugly paint job, and crammed looking humbuckers all look awful.

The only sort of nice thing is the neck binding, which is undone by the funny headstock shape for an offset.

Overall I have to give it an UGZ.

Agreed. I wouldn't buy one of these anyway. I'd get even more shit about teh Kurtdz than I already do.

Where are the serial numbers on 65 Jaguars located? Kurt's apparently had a legit serial, otherwise I would say that the neck, or maybe even the entire guitar was not a real Fender. Maybe the neck had extensive repairs which included a new fretboard, and re-shaping of the headstock?

Hopefuly the actual guitar wont have a backward decal...

Serial number for a 65 is on the neckplate.

Not that I would buy one, but they actually made a lefty version?! Wow! What the hell is happening this week?

So it's entirely possible that the neck is not the original at all?

That's funny !!

Reminds me of a situation I had at work today....

The web guy puts up a lefty Jag picture next to an ad trying to sell a KC right handed model Jaguar .

consequently the manager sees this & thinks, wait a minute here, we only have righty on order I'd better change the lefty image to a righty so not to seem misleading to the general public etc...

..... so.. what I'll do is just flip the image in photoshop, due to the lack of righty -promo images.... and post that up instead.

I said immmediately... NO !! , they'll notice the back to front Fender decal straight away...

.....These nerdy forum guys have pinpointed about 10 things wrong with this guitar already... so I wouldn't suggest just doing that.

................... 5 hours later after returning home from work I decide to see what the outcome was....

This ones new on me too !!

.... let's hope the same situation applies to the guy from Fender who suggested posting the images detailing a jaguar with an incorrect neck pickup placement.

what about the Fender on the trem plate?

Pens · Post by **Pens** » Sat Sep 03, 2011 11:38 pm

If I were to actually get one of these, I'd still probably just go with Fender Japan's take on it instead. It looks about right.

But for $2500 it ain't worth it.

Â£994 is a complete lolfest.

Check out the Fender facebook page feedback... it's pretty negative.

Makes me want it even more lol

This makes me wonder even more whether Johnny Marr sig Jag would be MiA or MiM...
Dig that one much better than KC sig which is if you allow me to be harsh one fugly'd up Jag

.

For me Jag has one of the nicest looking Fender headstocks and that guitar is totally messed up... I wont go into whether it is correct or not relating to original KC Jag, but it just ain't my cup of tea

Weren't the tuners on cobain's guitar those janky-ass gotoh things he liked? Ugly.
