MGR/Eo the DestroyerFender Jag-Stang
Published on 05/15/04 at 15:00I got this guitar back in 1996 from a local guitar shop in Cumming, Georgia. I paid about $350 for it. I was a big fan of Nirvana so I had to have it. It is also a 50th anniversary Fender so that was an extra bonus.
It plays beautifully. The neck is thin and very easy to play. It play a lot of Drop-d tuning heavy stuff and it is a breeze to flail your fingers rapidly across the neck. I replaced the single coil with a Seymor Duncun hot-rail and it boosted the volume and body of the guitar immensly. The humbucker plays worderfully for distored guitar (I use a DOD Death Metal distortion) and the new (six years old) single coil is wonderful with a clean channel or some chourus.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the Vibrato bar. Every time I use it the hole guitar drops down about half a step. I'd love to put a floyd rose bridge on it. Other than that, it is a wonderful guitar.
Very good construction. I've had for over 8 years and it still looks great. There a couple dings and stratches from the strap screw coming off while playing standing up it it tumbling to the ground. But I fixed that problem by putting on seat belt like strap locks and glueing the screws in.
Great guitar. My advise though is to get a new single coil, because the original is that hot, and a strap lock system of some sort. Other than that it plays and sounds wonderful and you drastically change the tone with a quick flick of a switch.

MGR/CurtoFender Jag Stang
Published on 03/24/04 at 15:00I bought this from the music store that I work at 
I believe most stores sell it for around 5 hundredish, I'm not telling you how much I got it for because you'd get mad at me, hehe...Oh, and it's the new reissue of the Jag-Stang, not the original issue from the early/mid nineties.
Well, first off, I'm a HUGE fan of Nirvana, so even if the guitar itself sucked I would want it just because of the sticker on the back that says "Designed by Kurt Cobain". However, the guitar plays just fine! It has that nice Nirvana sound to it, especially when you go fuzzed out through the humbucker, and the single coil gets a nice, bassy sound out of it. A word of caution, however. This is one of...…

A word of caution, however. This is one of those guitars that you need to play before you buy, because some people love it and some people hate it. There aren't many people who are in between about it.
It goes out of tune easy because of the dynamic trem, and the finish scratches kind of easy. Also I think the Fiesta Red model is kind of ugly, but I got the Sonic Blue one so who cares?
Good solid construction, you could abuse it pretty well and it'd still work for awhile. (Remember, Fender made these assuming that Kurt would want to smash some of them!)
The bottom line? It's an overall great guitar, either as a collector's item, or a grunge guitarist's weapon of choice! I must reiterate, however...PLAY this one before you buy it!

MGR/Rock&Roll musicFender Jag-Stang
Published on 01/29/04 at 15:00I picked up this guitar used at Ancient Music in a town just south of Chicago. I paid only $200. But I got what I paid for.
The guitar has a nice sound to it. It has one single coil pick up at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge. I replaced the single coil with a Seymour Duncan Vintage for Jaguar. It sounds great (it has a Jaguar sound to it). With the right pedal (I use a super overdrive), it also has one of the best fat sounds around. Although I replace the pickup, there stock pickup still sounds nice. The off set body is comfortable and well balanced. The think neck plays very well. The pickup selectors give you a nice range of sounds. Its a good guitar for soloists or...…

Although I replace the pickup, there stock pickup still sounds nice. The off set body is comfortable and well balanced. The think neck plays very well. The pickup selectors give you a nice range of sounds. Its a good guitar for soloists or rhythm.
The guitar I bought was used . For only $200. Naturally there was improvement that needed to be done. A screw receiver on my Jagstang was broke, so I just replaced the whole pickup (as I stated before). Its WELL worn. But thats all minor. The biggest problem with this guitar is keeping it in tune.
The guitar was constructed beautifully, but its previous owner abused it. The paint, and some of the wood, was cracked but it still held up great and sounded excellent. The Fiesta red paint looks especially nice. Iv had no problem with the neck either. The action is good. Even though this guitar took a lot of abuse, its holding up very nicely.
This guitar is great for anyone who can get one. The range of sounds are amazing, the playability is great. The construction is great. Its a nice, well-balanced guitar. I recommend this guitar for anyone looking for a solid, well built, nice sounding instrument.
