This mustang has been routed for a humbucker with a Seymour Duncan JB in white installed in the bridge position. The switches have been replaced with matching white ones. The pick-guard has been replaced with a red tortoiseshell pick-guard to match the shade of Kurt Cobain's Mustang Pickguard, which has been cut to accommodate the pick up. The bridge pick up is original and has a white matching cover placed over it. Lastly, the bridge has been replaced with a Tune-o-Matic style bridge for better tuning stability.This is an exact recreation of the awesome modifications that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana had done to his touring Fender Mustangs which were also made in Japan. These guitars were released as Kurt Cobain signature Mustang's which are very hard to come by and were only available in three finishes, Lake Placid Blue, Sonic Blue and Fiesta Red. The inspiration behind this guitar was to create a Kurt Cobain signature Mustang in the aged Sonic Blue finish that would match Kurt Cobain's original and be closer in looks and styling than the later Kurt Cobain Signature guitars and is based on the Sonic Blue Mustang Kurt played which Kurt had called 'Sky Stang I' which was Kurt's most used Mustang and can be seen in the Live and Loud concert in Seattle 1993.
