This.

'INSPIRED BY KURT COBAIN' would be fine. 'DESIGNED'... not so much.

It won't. And short of finding Kurts ashes and mixing them in with the paint, it won't add any kurdtzz.

But it will require the subtraction of some Mikey Way, which is all good.

Guard and routes are done. Just needs round overs and a few more holes. Great job as always Cooterfinger!

Jag-stang looks better as a bass than a guitar.

Apparently Seymour Duncan/Fender put the "Duncan designed" on the mustang pickups now and the same pickups come in the new fender mustang bass's and the squier mustang bass's. I wonder if the bridge is the same bridge too. They haven't made any other kind of after market mustang bridges and they're still hard to find together. (Information from Angela Music through Fender)

+1

As much as I rolled my eyes on some of the early posts here, I admit now I'm loving this. (And freakin' Cooter is the man, isn't he?!)

I see he also cut you a pick guard without the switchplate. I'm inclined to lean that way and just have the swithes mounted into that. Might be too busy with chrome, but that's just how I like them!
