Hentai No Baka is at it again with another cool guitar project. He has customized a fiesta red jag-stang into a metallic green jag-stang with additional other changes!
Below is a tiny sampling of the photos he has of the project. Visit the forum thread he has for the project to see a ton of photos and information that he has shared.
Hello everyone! Today we are introducing a new section on jag-stang.com called the Jag-Stang Registry.
As the jag-stang becomes a rarer and more unique guitar the Registry aims to understand where all the jag-stangs have ended up around the world. At the same time it intends to give jag-stang owners a place to show off their guitar no matter if it has been modified or is stock.
So we welcome everyone to check out the new registry. And especially if you are a current or even former Fender Jag-Stang owner we welcome you to add your jag-stang’s info to the registry!
We always like to highlight the projects forum members are working on. And here is another recent project from HNB.
A custom made jag-stang featuring some of the following: TK Custom Guitars jag-stang body, MusicMaster neck, strat bridge pickup, 500k pots, and more!
The project details and many more images of his project can be found in the forum thread here.
Forum member Garagetone recently posted up some info and photos about a Jazzstang project he is working on. You can see a few select photos and quotes from his thread in the post below.
To see even more photos and information see the full forum thread HERE.
After I crafted a bunch of “standard” bodies, I decided to merge the guitars from my two favorite bands. Kurdt’s Jag Stang, with Thurston’s Jazzmaster. – Garagetone
Nice work Garagetone!
EDIT: Updated with demo video.
Check out more from Garagetone on his Myspace Page.

We bring you another fantastic jagstang project in this post. Comprised of a Warmoth made jagstang body and neck AJ put together a really nice guitar here.
Some of the specs from AJ’s “Gold Top” jag-stang are:

This photo includes an original (c 1974) Mustang neck that AJ intended to use, but he found the Warmoth neck much better for playability.

AJ’s guitar is a part of the Warmoth gallery.

It’s been well known that there were 2 original prototype jag-stangs made by Fender at the time Kurt Cobain died. There was a sonic blue prototype that was played by Kurt on a few European tour dates. (see video in previous post) It was given to Peter Buck of REM after Cobain died. You can see Buck playing the lefty jag-stang flipped righty in the REM video “what´s the frequency kenneth”. Does anyone know where the blue jag-stang is today?
The fiesta red prototype never made it to Kurt. Fender was preparing to ship the guitar to Kurt when they got news of his death. It originally ended up in the Fender Museum. Forum member ‘prospect’ posted some of his great photos and information from the Fender museum which is shared below. [forum link]
These photos are from Fender’s Museum in California from a few years back. It is my understanding that this is now currently on display either in Seattle or Cleveland.
On Kurt’s drawing the surrounding information you see is for when it was scanned for “Journals”. The “blacked out” area is contact information for Kurt and his guitar tech which was to not be printed in “Journals”.

If you have any more info on the current locations of the fiesta red or sonic blue prototype jag-stangs let us know.
