Kurt Cobain Replica Pickguards

Skystang 1 Pickguard

Made directly from the real guard itself when granted permission from Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions in 2023, 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 and feel of the guard also, unlike other makers.

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 in history.
Avaliable in ANY Mustang format. Dont see your required spec avaliable? 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.)

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 replicated screw holes on Kurt's Prototypes, it is unlikely all screws will match to your body.*
