Kurt Cobain bought his 1965 Jaguar through a free ads paper in 1991. It was probably one of the few affordable left-handed guitars available to him, as Jaguars were out of fashion with collectors. In his hands, it became a Jag in shape only; the exclusive Jaguar ‘rhythm circuit’ controls were disconnected, and the single coil pickups replaced with DiMarzio PAF and Super Distortion models. The guitar sounded huge and powered Nirvana from Nevermind onwards.
