“Ever since I started playing, I’ve always liked certain things about certain guitars but could never find the perfect mix of everything I was looking for,” Cobain said in a 1994 interview with Fender Frontline. "The Jag-Stang is the closest thing I know."
Justin Norvell, EVP of Fender Products, said in a statement: "When we took a look at the sketches Kurt Cobain had drawn up for his dream guitar, we were impressed by how intricate his design was".
He added: "We honoured the original model – all the specs on the new Jag Stang are as they were. Nothing new was done to it, we really wanted to keep it aligned with Kurt’s vision.
"Through our long-standing relationship with the Kurt Cobain Estate, we always knew we wanted to bring his vision to life. It’s been an immense honour to help bring his idea to fruition and revive this model."
