Kurt Cobain Replica Pickguards

Skystang-I

Made directly from the real guard itself when I requested the guitar was brought to Dublin, and was granted permission from Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions in 2023 to document the pickguard and bring along my original left handed Fender mustang. (Thank you!!) -  these are a 1:1 exact replica of Kurt's original 1993 Fujigen Fender Mustang pickguard, not only mimicing the pattern and colours, but overall look of the guard too, unlike many other makers, who tend to spray clear paint ontop of their attempts.

Through speaking with Scott Zimmerman, Fender Japan's Masterbuilder who assembled and constructed all 6 of Kurt's MIJ Mustangs, he revealed that the 'Yellow V' was something he initially planned to cut out, but instead at the last minute, when routing the guards, decided to embrace them, leaving his print on one of the most iconic guitars Kurt used.
Avaliable in ANY Mustang format. Send me a message and we can discuss.

*Avaliable as a Light Relic - mimicing Kurt's wear patches, detailed on the original guard, as well as mis-aligned humbucker route, as done by Earnie Bailey in 1993. 

Also avaliable as a '1993 US Tour' spec (body mounted humbucker), or '1994 Europe Tour' spec (added humbucker mounting hole - for direct pickguard mounting.)

I have been provided with documentation, enabling me to update my Replica Jaguar guards -  allowing me to perfectly replicate Kurt's original 1966 Jaguar pickguard 1:1 - originally owned by Martin Jenner. I have theoried for a long time that this pickguard, like many parts of the guitar, are not original to the guitar when it left the factory in 1966, due to the steeper bevel within the pickguard. This guitar featured parts from luthiers within the UK aswell whilst Kurt owned it, including a entirely different neck, made from scratch. 

Available for all Jaguar Specs! Message me to discuss.

A faithful 1:1 of the pickguard on the Prototype Jagstang model Fender sent Kurt in 1993 and would use here and there over the In Utero Tour - notabably the Tallehasse show and Zenith.

Noticable different shape on the upper area of the pickguard, as well as a 1ply, glossy white material, opposed to the 4ply Perloid that will be present on all Production run models, and Prototype 2.

Made to fit on Mexico Reissue Jagstangs as well as CIJ Dyna-Gakki Fender Japan 1997 Models. *Please Note - Due to the nature of this guard and having replicated screw holes on Kurt's Prototypes, it is unlikely all screws will match to your body.*

Please contact me for other specs, avaliable on request.

NOTE: This pickguard is also available made to stock Jagstang production specs, meaning your guitar will not need to be modified for it to fit.
