Wow... Fender has produced one of their Artist series guitars and you can actually get it left-handed... unlike the current Ibanez Paul Gray tribute bass.

I'm admittedly a HUGE Nirvana fan, and would love to add one of these to my collection.

Pretty sweet, IMO.

That's MSRP. Street price I'm guessing would be anywhere from $300-500 less. (Note; the Yngwie Malmsteen model's MSRP is $2399 and you can get them for $1799: $700 less). Still a lot of coin, but if I'm not mistaken most (all?) Artist series guitars are made in the US and this is a fairly significant move for Fender considering they haven't offered a US made left handed Jaguar since the original run was discontinued 1975 at the VERY least! :shock:

(I'm not even sure I've seen any lefty Jaguars from the 70's, so lefties may very well have ceased to be in the 60's). I do think it's unfortunate that Fender won't offer a "true" lefty Jaguar (Or my personal favorite, the Jazzmaster) in a MIA lefty model, as this Cobain model is really only a Jaguar in appearance after the mods.

I just read about it earlier this morning.
I loved the press photo of the instrument too... Notice anything funny about the headstock?

As a graphic designer, I can only imagine what that person feels like right now.

6 strings, 7 tuners? :lol:

AustinLeftyBass · **Posted:** September 7th, 2011, 10:01 am

Or more precisely, 6 tuner posts, 7 tuner knobs.
Why would he/she got to the trouble of "Photoshopping" an additional knob without simply counting first?

I remember when Fender made the Jagstang in the '90s. I believe they were Japanese.

Saw one in the window of a guitar store around 1999-2000 (for $550 IIRC), but when I went back a week later, it was gone. Nowadays even the righties go for more than that.

Had a Jaguar once, did not like the short scale, but I definitely would get the KC model if I won the lotto. :mrgreen:

One just arrived at Dave's Music. I am not a fan of relic'ing, but I actually like the look of it on this one. Looks like a nice slab of wood for a MIM build.
