The Mustang above is a TOM and I swear the Jag is too.

Here’s the Jag, that’s a TOM too.

I think you're right. I guess he didn't like the rattly stock bridges. Cobain was a bit of a tech, apparently. Who would have thought. This article says he bought the Jag already modded.

Cool article, thanks.

That is a great question, who modified a 1965 left handed Jaguar with dual Dimarzio’s, a TOM and kept it in an Anvil case? For how undesirable they were in the 80’s it makes sense to be a workman’s guitar, but being left handed it’s extremely unique. You’d think someone would say “oh yeah that was my guitar for band XXX”.

Yep, it's a mystery.

You didn't see the linked article at the bottom? Martin Jenner, guitarist for Cliff Richard and The Everly Brothers.

What's up with the bass and neck side corner of the HB bobbin? It looks reshaped, but I couldn't tell you why.

Yes it does, I wonder if it was installed in an angled position in a previous guitar.

Hehe I was thinking of that Strat when I made my post. I know he used all kinds but the SD was the go to replacement. His tech was trying to convert him to Teles before he blew his head off.

Must have switched to the tele neck pickup.
