Burgundy jag is awesomeeeee.
When I first saw it something looked... 'different'. I think it's the non-matching headstock which is a bit unusual with a burgundy mist body. I love it though, not really a fan of matching headstocks anyway.

I am pretty sure that lefty compstang will be mine some time in 2012. Just need to find what to sell.

The Stangs and Thinline Jag are Japanese...

The Lefty stangs have the same cost / RRP as the righty, so hopefully because of the Cobain association you may not need to pay extra, unless the shop decides otherwise.

Presumably MIJ? The current Mustang is MIJ and £649. If they did a Humbuckered, Signature one from the US for £150 that would be a steal.

Very cool stuff from Fender, this stuff.

Am I the only one gleefully drowning in a reverb tank hearing/seeing such news?
