Built to capture the look and feel of the modified Mustangs Kurt used during the \u003cem data-start=\"429\" data-end=\"439\"\u003eIn Utero\u003c\/em\u003e era, this model blends classic offset Mustang styling with more aggressive, player-focused specs. The Fiesta Red finish, tortoiseshell pickguard, and unique pickup layout make it one of the most distinctive modern Fender signature models, and left-handed examples almost never turn up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"736\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"972\"\u003eThis guitar is in excellent condition and I would rate it a solid 9\/10. It shows only light surface scratches and a few small dings from normal use. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003eEverything on the guitar appears to be original with the exception of the tremolo bar. The bar is a right-handed tremolo arm that has been bent for left-handed use, and it works quite well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1427\"\u003eThere are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent condition with no wear, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with smooth, buzz-free action. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1474\"\u003eThe non-original hard-shell case is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1490\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"2087\"\u003eSerial Number: JD12010150\u003cbr data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003eWeight: 7 lbs 8 oz\u003cbr data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003eNut Width: 1.63\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"1560\"\u003eNeck Depth: .80\" at the 1st fret, .92\" at the 12th fret\u003cbr data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003eNeck Profile: C Shape\u003cbr data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eBody: Alder\u003cbr data-start=\"1653\" data-end=\"1656\"\u003eFinish: Gloss Polyester, Fiesta Red\u003cbr data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1694\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003eScale Length: 24\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003eRadius: 7.25\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003eFrets: 22 Vintage-Style\u003cbr data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"1780\"\u003eBridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan JB Humbucker, Direct-Mounted\u003cbr data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003eNeck Pickup: Fender Mustang Single-Coil\u003cbr data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"1883\"\u003eBridge \/ Tailpiece: Adjusto-Matic with Dynamic Vibrato\u003cbr data-start=\"1937\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003eControls: On\/Off Slider and Phase Switch for Each Pickup\u003cbr data-start=\"1996\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003ePickguard: 4-Ply Tortoiseshell\u003cbr data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2032\"\u003eHardware: Chrome\u003cbr data-start=\"2048\" data-end=\"2051\"\u003eCase: Non-Original Hard-Shell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2111\"\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2441\"\u003eOne of the biggest draws of this model is how closely it reflects the modified Mustangs Kurt Cobain actually used. The direct-mounted Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge gives the guitar much more output and punch than a standard Mustang, while the Mustang single-coil in the neck keeps some of that classic offset character intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2443\" data-end=\"2782\"\u003eThe control layout is also a big part of the appeal. With on\/off and phase switching for each pickup, it offers more tonal flexibility than many players expect, and it keeps the guitar visually and functionally tied to Kurt’s well-known stage instruments. Being a left-handed MIJ example makes this one especially uncommon and collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2795\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2797\" data-end=\"3039\"\u003eThis guitar has a great balance of short-scale Mustang feel and more aggressive, rock-ready tone. The bridge JB delivers strong output, bite, and power, while the neck pickup adds warmth and clarity for cleaner tones and more textured sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3041\" data-end=\"3245\"\u003eThe 24\" scale makes the guitar feel easy and slinky in the hands, and the C-shaped neck is comfortable and fast without feeling too thin. At 7 lbs 8 oz, it is nicely balanced and very comfortable to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3247\" data-end=\"3268\"\u003eTransparency \u0026amp; Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3270\" data-end=\"3637\"\u003eAs with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
