Actually, he was playing a red Fender Mustang. Watch it closely, there is no Jaguar hump.

Comment on AJ’s Project Gold Top Jag-Stang (Warmoth body and neck) by AJ Marik

Brad,

To answer your other questions (sorry, I missed them in my first reply), the guitar sounds surprisingly “Fender”-like, even though it’s loaded with the Seymour Duncan humbuckers. I would describe it as a classic Fender tone, from a slinky strumming rhythm sound, to heavy crunching and some really expressive, sustaining lead tones (longer sustain than Strats and Teles). The two 3-way switches can be wired in MANY different pickup configurations, enough to keep anyone happy for a lifetime.

I used this guitar to record lead parts on the Benedict Arnold & the Traitors album “Star Spangled Bummer”. I believe I used it on the song Hello Baghdad.

Brad,

The Warmoth neck has a larger radius (flatter fret board) than the standard original Fender Mustang/Jagstang neck. Actually, my neck has a compound radius, meaning it’s a little rounder near the headstock, and gets flatter as you move up the neck. This makes for easy chording down the neck, easier lead playing higher on the neck. It really works great. -AJ

You can now get MIM jag bass in white and sunburst, and if fender make a Jag-stang bass they have to reissue the Jag-stang, plus I think (and i think many will agree) that fender sould reissue the fender bronco, musicmaster, duo-sonic and musicmaster bass.

It looks like a million bucks…er, karats, I mean. I’m curious about the neck - what about it do you find more playable? Have you recorded with this one yet? What does it sound like?

Anyone out there happen to know which of the pickups goes where in this beast? I bought the “BC80″ and the “BC89″ to put into my Fender Mustang, and i don’t know which is for the bridge or the neck. Andrewkozak@hotmail.com

Kurt Cobain did get to play his red Jag-stang before his death. He played it live on french TV. It shorted out before he finished playing Drain You.

Although his original strat was the ‘57 reissue with lace sensors, what he’s been playing lately is this one with the dimarzios…which for all intents and purposes are better pickups anyway
