[edit] The Tremolo

As a Jag-Stang owner, I can confirm it uses the Dynamic Vibrato bridge of the Fender Mustang. Fender only made two Jag-Stangs, both of which sported this bridge.

[edit] Still Manufacturing?

Fender Japan has ceased production for the Jag-Stang. What's more, Fender Japan are no longer allowed to export new guitars. you can still buy a JagStang for 2000-599$

[edit] Nirvana MTV Live and Loud

I believe the correct date is December 13th, 1993. Check http://www.livenirvana.com in the tour history section and http://www.nirvanaguide.com.

[edit] Pier 48

The correct venue is Pier 48, not Pier 47.. I modified the article and added the correct date for the MTV Live and Loud show. Clinch76 03:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dave Navarro Jag-Stang

I tried to remove this information, but it was reverted. In the aforementioned episode of "Cribs", Dave Navarro shows the viewers a guitar he was given by Kurt Cobain. This guitar is in fact a vintage Fender Musicmaster, not a Jag-Stang at all. No idea who decided it was a "prototype Jag-Stang". Like I said, only two were made for Kurt. The first one Kurt drew on and sent back to Fender. The second one they produced he stuck with and took on tour with him. There were no other "secret" prototypes of any kind, and Kurt never gave any away. I suggest this information is removed permanently as it is irrelevant.


[edit] No Picture?

The link was amusing, tho. --89.176.68.189 21:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hybrid?

Despite its name, is it really accurate to describe this guitar as a hybrid of a Jaguar and a Mustang? Whilst is is clearly based on a Mustang (pickguard, switches, short scale, trem unit and bridge), there is nothing on the guitar that is owed exclusively to the Jaguar. The only part in any way inspired by a Jaguar is the shape, but that of course is shared with the Jazzmaster.82.109.207.69 (talk) 19:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

it's short scale, which puts it closer to the jag than the jm. and there is of course, the name.
