Or you can get a special Cobain Mustang imported from Japan with a humbucker already in there...

I'm a huge fan of the brown tort on the sonic blue. Was the white Mustang repainted? Hard to tell, but it doesn't look like Olympic White.

I prefer the red/white tort, but when I got the Jagstang brown/orange tort I was a little disappointed but when it all got put together, it looked better then I had expected.

I refinished the 66 Mustang (white lacquer from home depot), it was natural when I got it... the pickguard is also vintage, I think 65... it was broke near the neck pocket and already routed for a humbucker... I didn't care, just happy to track one down, love the deep red/white in it.

Guys, help me please! I want to put Seymour Duncan JB into my Fender Mustang. But what kind of this? Did Kurt use Seymoure Duncan JB TB4?
And what series of Mustang 66/69 did he play?

He used all sorts of Mustangs. It depends on if you like the contours or not. The newer reissues tend to be Daphnie Blue vs Sonic Blue, but you can get a Warmoth body painted and contoured however you like. :)

One of the most note-worthy of the assorted lefty Mustangs he used was a 1969 Lake Placid Blue "competition" Mustang


Early 60's sonic blue Mustang, serial # F207901, no pickguard. It was used in Geffen's "In Bloom" video


Early 60's sanded-down Fender Mustang used when Jason Everman was with the band.


1977 sunburst Mustang with black pickguard, serial # S 714567


despite how many pictures appear, Kurt never used a white Mustang. The sonic blue tend to look white, especially with the crazy light show NIRVANA had during the "In Utero" tour.

On the In Utero tour, they were all 69 Reissues from Japan rounted for Duncan JBs. No Super Distortions were used in these. Only the Jaguar, and a few Strats had the Super Distortion.
