Are you a nirvana freak like me xD

That color, in 1964, was called "Sonic Blue", and was quite popular. I gigged once with a (borrowed) Mustang in '65. Typical of anything Leo did, it was a helluva lot of guitar for the money. Unfortunately, it ultimately led (long after Leo left) to monstrosities like the "Jag-Stang", an absolutely horrible guitar (yes, I've played one). My very favorite Fender, which I owned for about ten years, was the Jazzmaster.

@krazy4knives Oh, he loved his Tele before he died. I suggest reading up on it. Guitar World had a Guitar Legends mag out a few years ago with details about it. Before he died, he was fed up with Mustangs, Jags, etc and really liked his Tele, which was custom made for him by Fender. He got it two weeks before he died, and used it for some home demos. Plus, he owned two before that, one which you see in the Come as You Are Video.

@BucksStudent as far as music videos the only one he used a mustang in was teen spirit. usually he did use a jag or mexican strat. idk if he said he liked teles though. kurt was attracted to crappy sounding guitars. and so am i lmao

@bloc22 I did he has had it repainted already i just have to get all the hard ware installed he actually found a set of the original pickups to put in it just need to get it all pieced back together.

@jmmurray1 make sure your dad is not into that whole 'aged worn look' first. He might actually like the way it looks now.
