Similarly, I once dreamed of Kurt sitting in my dining room. He was shaven & wearing an olive colored shirt, and was writing. The dream turned lucid and I told him I realized I was dreaming. He didn't talk to me until I said that. Only problem is, I don't remember most of what Kurt said. But was it really Kurt? Possibly not, considering I've also seen shape-shifters in dreams even when I was around 9 years old. One shape-shifter dream I had around the age of 9 - 10 had one guy turn into a dragon. He then went into a bigger dragon's lair, and talked to the bigger dragon about changing into a dragon, saying something like he thought it would be good to have "higher thoughts" while laughing. The other dragon then ate him, I'm guessing because the bigger one was greedy and he didn't like competition. Neither dragon was the same color as the other - one was blue, one was red. I'm just not sure which was which.

Scanning hundreds of millions of forums, blogs, newspapers, radio stations, streaming services, etc. And according to that data, the most iconic song to ever be released, is Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. In other words, oh my god.

I don't think that man attached any sentimental value to his instruments, or any other property. He seemed to view instruments solely as tools, which is strange for an artist, in my opinion. When you play, your guitars become like trustworthy friends. You love them in a different way than typical knickknacks.

I know the guitar you mean, so don't take this as a criticism of you, because it is generally referred to as a '65 Jaguar, but I am certain that it was actually a '66. Kurt himself called it a '66 in an interview I have in an old mag, and the neck we are all familiar with is not original to the guitar. The neck it left the factory with had block inlays and binding. In '65 the necks began with dots and no binding, and then transitioned to dots and binding later in the year. Early '66 necks can also be found with dots and binding, before they transitioned to blocks and binding around mid '66. It is possible that the body has a '65 date stamp, but it wouldn't have been assembled or left the factory any time before 1966.

I was a sophomore in high school when Nevermind was released, that album, and especially Smells like Teen Spirit are so closely linked in my mind to those formative years. Nirvana definitely forms the soundtrack of the memories of that time of my life. Kurt died about a month and a half before I graduated. Looking back now, being 48 years old, it 's almost as if people my age were kind of carried through those high school years by Nirvana, and seems like they sort of said goodbye to us just as we were getting ready to launch into the start of our adulthood. I always get a lump in my throat when I think about those times, this video created that same feeling. Amazing work, cannot imagine what you were feeling holding his guitar, you are a very lucky man.

I only have a 2007 - 2008 HDD Camera for the video and audio, and that's just not up to modern spec, although it could have been worse for the time I bought it. It records in 480p, and the audio's not clipping out when I turn the amp up, so that much is good.

You're living the dream that every Nirvana fan would have liked to live, getting closer to the holy grail, Kurt's guitars. As you say, they go beyond the simple fact that it is an instrument, they are real symbols. I'm really impressed that thanks to the community, this kind of video is possible, I never would have imagined better so thank you for your work. I really hope you'll be able to see more like the Jaguar and the Vandalism Strat and thrill us even more. I just have one request to make of you (which I made to you live for the skystang and you responded positively) but it would really be a good thing to be able to consult all the photos you took through a simple blog, to be able to see every detail of these guitars in good quality. The video is in 1080, it remains a classic format, sometimes I would like to be able to pause, to be able to zoom but the best are the photos in HD. That's just the little criticism I could make, thank you if you do it for the skystang and the comp!! Bravo, your investment is rewarded, you deserve it!

Awesome video, man! Larry Hall is a really great guy and we couldn't have got measurements from the guitar for the Jag-Stang research without Jim, Larry and Jacob Sheff. Interesting to note, when I had it measured with Jacob, the nut width was slightly different than the magazine article but still in the ball park. Feel free to check out the JS thread for the measurements provided by Mr. Sheff for the nut, 1st and 12th fret thickness. How did it feel to hold the first Jag-Stang neck? For those wondering about the measurements taken from Jacob Sheff, they are 1.610 nut, .85 1st fret thickness, .90 12th fret thickness.

Thanks for sharing the neck specs! I'd like to add a little context to this. For many (most?) vintage Fender necks, the thinnest spot is usually closer to the 2nd fret (instead of the 1st like most brands) because of how they tapered the back of the headstock into the neck. And having seen this guitar in person (and looking for that) I can confirm that was the case here as well. I'm my experience measuring many Fender necks you can take .02-.03" off the 1st fret depth measurement for the thinnest spot. So my best guess would be: 1st- .85" 2nd- .83" then a smooth taper up to 12th- .90" 🤓

@@lomicguitars212 yep! Sounds about right to me! I would like to add that these fret measurements were taken at the center location. So for example, .85 is on the chunkier side of the neck, as you pointed out, closer to the headstock.

@@thestratman9 very good to know thanks! That sounded pretty chunky and if someone recreated a .85-.90 neck it would feel more like PRS or Gibson than vintage Fender

Eric from Hole had it for a while. Then, according to some guys on Reddit, they reached out to Eric, and he supposedly mentioned that Frances has it now. Can't vouch for the accuracy, but that's the scoop.

As for the guitar case, there is a video that captures the moment when Kurt takes out this particular guitar from this particular case. This is live at Beehive Music at 5:20, after the performance of Drain You. it's funny moment to see behind your review:) Thank you so much! Eric or NirvanaGuitars

I would never want the responsibility to have this thing in my hands. As amazing as it would be. You can probably still feel the energy emanating from this thing...but for Kurt it was just a Mustang. The most bad ass in history. I had something else to add but I forgot. Oh well, whatever NeVeRmInD...
