Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang


Hold on to your hats Fender have announced yet more new products for NAMM 2012, Musicradar.com have the scoop that they are about to release a Kurt Cobain Mustang. Hang on, I hear you say, didn’t they just announce a Kurt Cobain signature guitar? Yes they did the Fender Kurt Cobain Signature Jaguar
“When Kurt Cobain hit the stage, it was very often with a Mustang guitar – an enigmatic anti-hero figure with an esoteric anti-hero instrument. It’s with great pride then that Fender introduces the Kurt Cobain Mustang, which evokes the man, the band, the sound and the times, and gives an authentically crafted nod to one of the most unlikely guitars to ever find itself at the centre of a musical maelstrom.
“Cobain liked Mustangs a lot. For one, he preferred offbeat guitars that didn’t cost zillions of dollars, and the Mustang certainly fit those two criteria. Also, being somewhat physically diminutive himself, he liked to perform live with slightly more diminutive guitars, like Fender Mustang and Jaguar guitars, which better fit his hands and his reach.”
Finish options include Fiesta Red, Sonic Blue and Dark Lake Placid Blue with stripe. Available in right and left-handed models. No idea what the price will be in your part of the world but Music Radar say that The Kurt Cobain Mustang has a UK RRP of £1,006.80. I suggest keeping an eye on Fender.com.
