I purchased this from Guitar Center in Hollywood on Dec 1, 1995. Only lightly ever played it. I was a huge Cobain fan and wanted this as a keepsake. I was never much of a guitar player, and used a Mustang purchased around the same time for most of my play; this baby was kept in her original Fender hard-shell case for almost all of the last 22 years... wow, I can't believe it's been that long! I'll be sure to post photos the next time I can get into that closet with the case :)
