I bought mine b/c my mustang was stolen and Fender wasn't selling the mustang anymore, but they had the reissue Jag-stang. It had the same neck, a humbucker, and a kick-ass looking body. granted, I would give up my jagstang to have my mustang back, but my Jagstang is a worthy replacement. Also the fact that its got the kurt cobain connection didn't hurt in my decision to get it either, but how the hell did Fender miss the rib contours??
