A Collector-Grade Grunge Icon!


Up for sale is a rare 2002 Crafted in Japan (CIJ) Fender Jaguar HH. This isn't just another offset; it is a high-end "Modern Vintage" instrument, professionally modified to pay tribute to Kurt Cobain’s legendary 1965 Jaguar.


While the Mexican-made (MIM) Kurt Cobain signatures are common, serious players and collectors know that the Crafted in Japan (CIJ) era (1999-2004) offered superior craftsmanship, better wood selection, and a neck profile that feels much closer to an actual vintage 1960s Jaguar. This 24-year-old instrument has reached "Modern Vintage" status, featuring a resonance and "broken-in" feel that new guitars simply cannot match.


To achieve the definitive Nirvana tone, this Jag has been equipped with a pair of DiMarzio Super Distortion humbuckers. This is the exact setup needed for that thick, harmonically rich high-gain sound that defined the 90s.


Condition & Details:

• Build Quality: Renowned Japanese precision with a beautiful 3-Tone Sunburst finish.

• Neck: Fantastic rosewood fretboard with plenty of fret life left.

• Aesthetic: Honest player wear that gives it an authentic, non-artificial "relic" look.

• Note: The tremolo arm is not included.


I am thinning out a private collection of high-end instruments (feel free to check my other listings). This guitar has been kept in a smoke-free environment and is only being sold due to lack of use. It deserves to be in the hands of someone who will appreciate its history and build quality.


Included:

• Standard Gigbag.

• Professional, "Bulletproof" packaging for safe international shipping.
