A must-have offset Fender with unmistakable ’90s alternative rock attitude, this 2012 Fender Kurt Cobain Signature Mustang in Lake Placid Blue with Competition Racing Stripe captures the look and feel of one of the most iconic modified guitars in rock history. Inspired by Kurt Cobain’s famous Mustang used during the Nirvana era, this signature model blends vintage Mustang character with player-focused upgrades.

Featuring a comfortable 24" short scale neck, fast-playing maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and a powerful Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge position paired with a Mustang-style neck pickup, this Mustang delivers everything from jangly cleans and indie tones to thick grunge-inspired crunch. The Lake Placid Blue finish, racing stripe, and offset Mustang body make it one of the most recognizable modern Fender signature models.

Complete with hardshell case, this limited-production Kurt Cobain Mustang is a highly desirable Fender for players, collectors, and Nirvana fans. With discontinued status and strong demand for these models, it’s a standout piece that combines vintage offset style, modern playability, and serious rock history.
