  • i would kill for a left handed 1 in that colour

  • What are the the pickups in it?

  • what is the neck scale 24? or 24x3/4"?

  • kurt cobain at first hate it cause it was difficult to set up but after some modifications he grew up comfortable enough to use it occasionaly for entires shows

  • You're disgracing guitar with that stupid line 6.. Get a decent amp!

  • HEY ITS THE GUY WHO TAUGHT ME BAT COUNTRY!

  • I tell you, this guitar is perfet for country, soul, and funk.  It's real fun.

  • Kurt Cobain NEVER played this guitar. He wasn't satisfied with how Fender released it.

  • @madeyes4u Yep he used it ONCE, he probably like, smashed in into an amp or something, lol

  • @zomgoodnessih8u I never found out what exactly it was that he hated about it. Do you know?

  • @madeyes4u umm i think he hated its playability, sounded too clean or something.

  • The only guitar reviewer I have respect for is Scott Grove. He has the coolest guitars you'll ever see and he can play the shit out of both this guy and Phil XYZLoser.

  • play some nirvana!

    would sound good!

    nice guitar!

  • @acledfloyd yeah true. I think his dislike of his model came from how it was built. It wasn't the product he wanted

  • Kurt Cobain never actually liked the Jagstang. he had it for one European tour and he only wanted to play his Jag. So he never actually liked it

  • @rydawg823 He did design it though, so I am sure it had a place in his heart.

  • he wrote the design on a piece of cardboard and a piece of paper just saying love the video :))

  • That is a sweet gitty.

  • wait he sed the first jagstangs were in 1996 well kurt killed himself in '94 how could he of used it?? (or i got the dates wrong dont hate)

  • @slipknotmetalica2398 no, he had a Jag-Stang before he died, but the guitar was released in 1996 for the public

  • id geive my left ball for a jagstang. no really, im serious.....

  • i've got a '95 jag and i love it. through my orange ad30 it has so much texture and response it's almost unreal. it's a scary thought, but i'm beginning to like it more than my les paul. i've been a gibson guy for years. always felt like i'd break any fender i pick up, but the jag is a solid piece of work. i play alot of bends w/ reverb and the tone and "scoop" in the note is everything i've been looking for. plus, it weighs a hell of alot less than the paul. get. this. guitar!

  • This guy is so cool !

  • I pre-ordered one of these when it came out. But when I finally played it at the store for 20 minutes I just said nah, I can't buy this. Cheap toy junk. Notice how this guy barely plucks & strums this guitar. That's because if you really wail on it it goes seriously out of tune. Cool idea with poor manufacturing. Save up and go vintage!

  • I wish they wouldn't have made this guitar so cheap if they made the jagstang with nice parts it could be an awesome guitar but i feel like they didn't even try

  • @XxRipStitchxX thats the point......kurt like playing cheaper guitar, remember cheap has nothing today with sound and tone

  • Search realivemovement

  • you've got sooooo many amps, GREAT amps, like old fender twin reverbs and stuff, and you demo it thru a line 6? dude did you got payed for that?

  • i have one, my dad give it to me. i love it.

  • WTF!? nice vibrato?? do this guy smoke weed?? its soo bad >:( it goes out of tune so fast when you use it.. Kurt got his locked becaouse its real shit. would be nice to se it with a jag or strat vibrato pice

  • when he said nature, he said it like arnold swartznigger

  • he's very funny in his hat

  • does anyone know where i can get one of these left handed?????

  • i am kurt cobain

    BOO!

  • @nonSteel i missed you man...

  • Hi matey.. £500.

    In blue.

  • Now dave navarro has kurts original jag-stang

  • does fender still make this cause i want one.

  • @DavidVOJr

    Hi I have got one I am selling of you qare itnerested.

    Great guitar :)

  • @qualitysmartphones how much man?

  • @qualitysmartphones i want one!!! to bad i dont got no money :'(

  • this guitar has the most beautiful paintjob i've ever seen.

  • is this guitar better than a MIM strat?

  • @frenchfriedfrenchmen No. Definitely not.

  • i want one so badly

  • this isn't 'kinda kurt's signature model, it is. he didn't want his name on it to make it official because he hated that about les pauls and guitars that where named after their conceptualist, and then produced. he felt that would disturb the users flow with it, as it did him. he had two custom shop models made for him. he died before he could even look at or touch the second one. you can hear the real one. (the second one) is in REM's" what's the frequency keneth" video.

  • please can somebody explain me waht is the short scale and the other one i don't get it

  • @songokusss

    this guitar was Fenders way of getting some quick cash from the death of Cobain. He ordered two of these from the custom shop, and commited suicide before he recieved the second one.... now owned by the guitarist for REM. it has the short scale 24.5 inch vs the stratocaster/telecaster 25.5 inch scale. it fingers much quicker and easier because of this.

  • so this guitar sucks huh?

  • @adamz1988 its actually fairly decent if you swap the pickups. the body shape is really comfortable. don't listen to this guy at all, hes a total tool. honestly, the actual guitar is worthless except for the fact its literally the most comfortably guitar ever. swap the pickups and it's very good. if you've ever used any MIJ or CIJ fender's it's really comparable.

  • I Have one and i love it so much it sits alongside my fender Jaguar, and i think its time to treat myself to a mustang to complete the set. :)

  • that nah ture!

  • Comment removed

  • wish they didnt discontinue it....

  • id give my univox high flyer that kurt cobain wouldve used for this guitar

  • The strat he grabs in about 4:30 doesn't have a strap button D:

  • just bought one, yeee

  • @Bsimms92 LUCKY! lol

  • sorry for asking about the pickups again, ha, i asked that about a month ago. my bad. I still need to know about the switches though so I can try and wire it back to original. thanks

  • i recently got a original 1996 fiesta red jagstang, and im wondering two things. what are the original pickups? and how the switches work, like in what position, because someone changed mine, and wired it wrong. any help will be appreciated,

    thanks.,

  • he talks like a white bill crosby

  • at least know how to play Smells like teen spirit

  • not one nirvana riff :L

  • i want to bash my head in through the monitor. just play the damn guitar and shut up!!!!!!!!!!

  • @grUngEroX1993 before you try to insult something learn how to spell dumb ass -___-

  • I just bought one but the pickups arnt original. I want to swap them out for original, do you know what original are? I know some kind of humbucker, and I thought a Texas special in the neck,

  • @axlesteel12 I believe it was a dimarzio H-3 humbucker. Pretty sure not positive.

  • How could the jagstang been produced first in 1995? Kurt used prototype models if I am remembering right.. (could be wrong but swear seeing him with the guitar)

  • @Standard420247 Maybe he means commercially?

  • @Standard420247 before his death there were 2 prototypes made,he owned one

  • @frenchfriedfrenchmen he owned but but only played one due to him not being fully satisfied. my guess is he ment to tweak it more before his death but died before he could perfect it.

  • @TheMarchingMaggot your guess is correct he was supposed to receive the fiesta red jag stang soon but died before they could get it to him. the original sonic blue was sent back to the factory with notes on the guitar of the perfections he wanted done on it. However again because of his death they sent it out the way the original prototypes were.

  • @guitarfreakRSS i really wish fender would re-release these guitars, not only in the original proto types, but they should also perfect it to the way kurt wanted and sell those as well

  • dave! your reviews are awesome!

  • it has A mustang neck because he liked the feel of it and a jaguar esque bodie because he liked the tone

  • um no not 1996 i've seen pictures of Kurt Cobain with a jagstang so it was before 96 if im not mistaken

  • @TheRealSonicYouth It was released to the public in 1996, but he tested it out on the In Utero tour (1993-1994) only to find that he was unhappy with it/rarely played it. They had planned on reworking it but as we all know he died before Fender could do so. Instead of letting the design go to waste, they waited about a year and released this half completed version. -__- I'm sure it still sounds great, just not what he had in mind.

  • @localdummiesguy oooh thanks for the info man

  • I got mine! I love this guitare

  • that amp is pish

  • Does anyone know where I can find a hard shell case for this guitar?

  • Comment removed

  • why does everyone do reviews of instruments, and sit and blab through 60% of it.

  • @burninganubis because believe it or not, people would like to know about the instrument. I think they should play it for a lot longer with different effects.

  • you did not state that Kurt Coabin actually hated this guitar and hardly played it, and then evntually killed himself for unknown reasons. fans of Kurt, do yourself a favour and go buy a blacktop jag HH. The Blacktop Jags have jazzmasteresque small curved body, small neck, same chrome hardware, just replace the knobs with mustang ones, they look like his epiphone et-270 with the Chrome covers on the HH's and similar pickup selector, Funky Headstock

  • @ThePoorhillbilly he hated anything that made poparatzi take pics of him ex. he hated smells like teen spirit because hr got way too much publicity

  • Is there a demo for the red Teisco K-4L / ET-460 in the background?

  • Where do u go to buy this? or what website?

  • Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, headache! This voice is killing me!

  • Yeah, this guy is better than the guy from that other store who thinks he's Bon Jovi and always yells stuff like "yeeeaaaaahhhhHHHH!!" and flicks hair out of his face and stuff and thinks he's a 17 year old surfer dude from the 80s although he is a 45 year old failed musician from the 2011. But the best guy is Andy from proguitarshop.

  • @Wodey25 lol on the "failed musician"

  • @Wodey25 Which guy are you talking about? I think I know who but I'll let you answer just to be sure.

  • @Wodey25

    I know your not talking about Phil X.... :/

    failed musician? hes a great musician, he can play the full studio version of Whole Lotta Love, even that little interlude near the end, Eruption, hes one of the first sessions guitarists they call if they need an extra little magic, he was on Methods of Mayhem and the Daughtry record to name only 2.

    "Failed musician"? try "Failed Celebrity", he actually was almost signed 3 times, but they either screwed him or the company defunct.

  • @Wodey25 SHUT YO ASS UP ABOUT PHIL X D:<

  • @Wodey25 are you referring to Phil X? because he is more successful then you think! he's played on alot of Bon Jovi's songs, as well as going on tour with them and playing on albums with Tommy Lee and Alice Cooper! so i think he's pretty successful tbf

  • @Wodey25 soo. could you tell me where your music career is if you are going to rip on Phil x?

  • @RC62Scorch Also in the toilet

  • @Wodey25 i like marty swartz from guitar jamz.

  • @Wodey25 Phil X?

  • @Wodey25 nahh andy sucks

  • @Wodey25 the guy from proguitarshop sounds like a stereotypical white guy, his voice is irritating

  • @Wodey25 FUCK YOU! Phil X is probably the best guitar player thats still alive and doesnt have great hair. You can go fuck yourself

  • @Wodey25 I prefer Phil X to this guy to be honest. He's a great guitarist who's just having fun. Not everyone has to be serious when they play!

  • @Wodey25 god, a little harsh man

  • @Wodey25

    That guy actually plays guitar for Bon Jovi. So I wouldn't say he's a failed musician. And at least he knows a thing or two about tone, unlike this guy, who plays all these fucking guitars on shitty Line 6 amps.

  • @Wodey25 Which guy? There are more of them,I just hope that you are not talking about marty

  • @Wodey25 The irony is that "surfer dude." is on tour with Bon Jovi... google it then insert foot in mouth.

  • @motocarnage615 Sure it does. Everything does.

  • @DURecords Huh? cool channel by the way! dig the 70's Strat!

  • @Wodey25 Phil is a legend, he's toured with Bon Jovi and his band The Drills are awesome. I love Andy from PGS, and gearmanndude too. can't stand this guy though...

  • WHY ARE WE YELLING????!!!!

  • @TooChillWill oh yea? how bout ya fuck off motherfucker

  • where can u buy this :)

  • The first year jagstang was 93 not 96

  • how did kurt cobain play a jagstang if he died in 1994

  • @locohenry

    Fender sent Cobain several prototypes that he supposedly wasn't completely happy with. The model was mass produced posthumously and has gone in and out of production several times over the years.

  • @locohenry It was produced before 1996, they canceled producing it and set a new Production in 1996 for the fans, but they won't do another one. So there are 93' and 96' models of it. Peace.

  • nirvanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa l..l, 

  • The Moserite was a big influence on this design too (angled pickups). Overall, it looks like it was sketched on a napkin. These notoriously have trouble staying in tune. Friend of mine bought one when they came out and had nothing but trouble. Probably replace most of the hardware.

  • how can anybody hate this guy he soo f***kin awesome !!!!!!, btw how much is that guitar ?

  • how can anybody hate this guy he soo f***kin awesome !!!!!!

  • I'd love to have this guitar, too bad they don't make 'em anymore, which is surprising seeing as how it's a one of a kind model designed by a legend in the music buisness.

  • @tonyhighflyer911 not at all, watch the video again, at 3:56 he holds up what he claims to be a japanese fender strat to make a comparison yet hes holding what is clearly an acoustic guitar, how do a gold top les paul and an acoustic look ANYTHING alike much less a jagstang and a strat?

  • I have a golden one. All you need to do to do to see it is go to bing dot com and type in gold jagstang under images to see it.

  • Excuse me, but sonic blue is whiteish blue. This is daphnie blue.

  • @BameronCerry IIRC it's Sonic Blue. Maybe in the video it looks different, but I remember as a kid getting this guitar and wanting the Sonic Blue color.

    

  • am i the only one confused here? why is he calling it a sonic blue jagstang when its clearly a gold top les paul?

  • @leurbost80 i hope this is a joke becuz if not u need to just stop watching guitar vids.

  • i would do anything for a jagstang ive seen one in a shop but its way to high of my price range! i dont know how to put this sad or cool or what ever but didnt kurt get his jaguars and mustangs from pawn shops for like 50 bucks?

  • my fave review guy on this channel

  • bieber=cobain??? why would he ever think that? has he ever heard nirvana? for fuck sake if hes just going to pick out a big star to compare himself to how about taylor from hanson.... yeah taylor hanson=justin bieber sounds about right to me.

  • RIP Kurt

  • whats that guitar to the right, in red?

  • La mejor guitarra de la historia

  • i was watchin some documantaries about kurt cobain and the original idea he did for this guitar he did by taking a polaroid of his jaguar and his mustang and cutting them out and putting them together. The mustang and jaguar were kurts favourite guitars. (going by what documentaries said).

  • Does anyone know where to find a jagstang, a mustang, or an original G&L Rampage (not the Cantrell tribute series). I've been looking everywhere for these with no success :(

  • Any one know where i can legitimatley get a good quality Jag Stang...Cheap?

  • @NICKWAPPERER117 That depends on what you define as good quality and cheap. But really you're just going to have to look around. I found my Jag Stang by luck at a guitar center. It's original, not a reissue, and cost me $700. You're probably looking at something between that and $500 if you look around well enough. Maybe less if you find a reissue, but in my experience reissues usually (not always) don't play quite as well for any guitar.

  • jag stang?

  • maybe kurt dosnt like but i love that guitar,i want one!

  • all the electroincs and the bridge and the knobs are all mustang..only the look is mustang and jaguarr...

  • i want that mustang T_________T

  • Honestly , as much as I worship Kurt , I don't find this guitar sexy

  • ok.....so we trust the opinion on a guy who wears his hat backwards? Does the backward hat make him an expert?

  • I WANT IT! GIVE IT TO ME THROUGH YOUTUBE! JUST THROW IT THE THE SCREEN! COME ON I'LL CATCH IT!

  • Dam id love to get my hands on the person who stole my jagstang!!!

  • How many times can you repeat yourself?  JUST PLAY!!!!!!!

  • I don't care how a guitar looks. I am interested in tone and what I can do with it.

  • i see alot of young kids on the nirvana videos, i think thats good for the future generation of music

  • @masterbate23 It's good for future music but it could also be a bad thing aswell because they might try to make it rap/Hip-hop/RnB/Dub-step and thats just not Kurt

  • The Jag-Stang is too cartoonish for my tastes, but it sounds great.

  • This couldnt be kurt's guitar...he was dead two years before it came out according to the vid

  • @misterdotwookie he designed it in late 93 but Fender (I think) made him one or two but didn't take off on the idea until mid 95-96 and then discontinued them

  • @misterdotwookie He designed this guitar in late 93, and Fender sent him a few prototypes of the guitar, which he hated, he kept having to send them back because he was dissatisfied with them. So technically youre right this isnt Kurts guitar because it wasnt set up the way he wanted when he designed it.

  • Ugliest guitar ever

  • What is the red guitar behind him?

  • tbh, Kurt didn't liked this finish that much and he was about to change the design.

  • Kurt Cobain took a picture of a Jaguar and a Mustang cut them in half, taped them together and told Fender to make it...<.<

  • This guy annoys me so bad. He is shouting like an elephant, and he looks really really retarded when looking straight into the camera.

  • I want that! Why doesn't he play Nirvana song? Hey? I don't think he play Smells Like Teen Spirit at the end. I hope so....

  • I want that!

  • The Jagstang looks kind of like the G&L SC-2 ....(the body)...

  • i got a red one and i make house music with it

  • Wow havent seen one of this guys videos since I was in 7th grade. Now I'm a junior. haha been a while. struck up some old memories.

  • does any one agree that bieber is gay

  • urgh awful review. the bottom of this guitar looks like a testicle.

  • Nice guitar ! But What guitar is that red one behind him ?

  • @Kyrzak12 its a gretsch corvette, i have a 64' on my wall, its a nice guitar, real fat neck tho

  • @TheWhitenissan Thanks ! but I was talking about the one at the right XD But yeah I think gretsch are great too : )

  • @AJBUCSFAN I think he's just doing a sound alike to avoid being sued.

  • lol this guitar was designed by kurt cobain and he plays hendrix on it

    btw the guitar is out of tune

  • @PGgnGTAVC95 can you do it better?

  • enough about the f*cking looks. i mean 4:50 about the LOOKS? compare it to another colour?

    i mean, come on man

  • @piratpojken and, when you actually get to the rockin', the guitar is out of tune

  • Dang)))

    "Designed by Kurt Cobain", so sweet for some reason))

    Now I love this guitar even more

    I'd just love to have a guitar that has that written on the beck of the neck

  • what i love about kurt cobains guitaring is that he never did any of that fidly shit tat hedrix or slash or eddie van halen did if he did a solo it was ither following the melody of the song or he was basically strangeling the neck he was very indevidual about how he played it was amazing exactely why hes one of my favourite guitarists :) the guitar is fucking awesome i want one!!

  • whats the red guitar in the background?

  • @SimLappp most likely a teisco del ray.

  • I wish Squier or Fender would reissue the Jagstang, It would be a great Squier guitar, seeing as it's based on cheaper student guitars anyway.

  • this was a horrible review didnt specif what wood it was made from all u heard was kurt drew the idea up.. well DUH! and other than that i heard bla bla blah its blue sonic blue and uhhhhhhhh..... lets hear what it sounds like.. i feel he could go more in depth about the guitar.. and who uses digital solid state amps man?? those things are garbage use vintage solid states or buy a tube amp!!

  • I always wonder...i know you have awesome gear connects.. why do you choose a solid state line 6 amp for these videos? Some people seem to like to record on them better but... and dont get me wrong, your tone is actually pretty good.. I just find it strange
