What do you think of it? Is it worth the money?

Thanks! :)

I cant find where it says its price. Anyway, its always best to test it first if you can. You might find its crap when you get it. I know this person who bought a £1500 guitar and this guitar teacher played it and looked at it and said it is only worth about £500. What kind of stuff do you want it for anyway ?

By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

this is the guitar that Kurt Cobain designed

the tone is really close to the jagmaster which i would recommend over the jagstang

and the jagstang is really unconfortable to sit down and play with because of its retarded shape

Get a Cyclone instead. They're cheaper, feel great and stay in tune MUCH better. Put a better set of pickups in it and the Cyclone KILLS the Jagstang.

The thing with the Jagstang is that it wasn't what Cobain wanted - he had adimantly demanded a Tune-O-Matic type bridge because the Mustang vibrato is very unstable. Fender wouldn't go along with it, so Kurt barely ever played the prototype they sent him because he hated it.
