Our take

Who this one is for

The Kurt Cobain Jaguar recreates, in new condition, the heavily modified 1965 Jaguar he played in Nirvana's early 90s years. The big change from a stock Jaguar is the pickups: a DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary DP103 in the neck and a DiMarzio Super Distortion DP100 at the bridge, selected by a three-way toggle on a modified lower plate.

The classic Jaguar lead and rhythm circuits stay. In lead mode you get a volume for each pickup and a master tone on knurled chrome dome knobs. Flip the slide switch and the rhythm circuit gives the neck pickup its own volume and tone on thumbwheels. A black chrome Adjusto-Matic bridge sits ahead of the floating tremolo tailpiece, which has a lock button to stop it moving. The neck is a modern C with a bound 9.5" radius rosewood board and 22 medium jumbo frets on the Jaguar's 24" scale, strung with .010-.052s.

3-Color Sunburst with a tortoiseshell pickguard, in right-handed and left-handed versions, with a hardshell case and a book of photos and an interview with his guitar tech. For the same body with single-coils and a lot more switching, see the Johnny Marr Jaguar.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. After you order, we check with the supplier and email you an ETA. If it changes, we let you know, and you can cancel.

Want an estimate for this model before you order? Ask us in the chat.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
