Description

This guitar appeared just around the the time band started recording Nevermind in summer of 1991. Over the years the instrument became one of Kurt’s most iconic guitars.
Kurt got this ’65 Jaguar through an ad published in LA’s famed Recycler magazine. The guitar was already heavily modified by the previous owner. The original single-coils were replaced with two DiMarzios – a PAF in the neck and a Super Distortion in the bridge, and the stock bridge piece was replaced with Gibson’s Tune-O-Matic. It was also fitted with an additional volume control, and the original pickup selector switches were replaced with a single Gibson-style toggle switch. The switch was in the direct path of Kurt’s hand movement, so in order to deal with this he tapped it over presumably in the bridge pickup position to avoid accidental toggles.
