Well that's what the custom shop does. I wish they could do what you say and keep the price at production run levels, but that would hardly make sense for them.

I know what you are saying but it seem like the fender custom shop charges a premium price and it takes really long to get a guitar (from what I've heard). I just wish there was a way to get some custom features without actually going through the custom shop.

there is, build a spare parts guitar if you do alot of the work yourself you can keep the price down

Sorry to dig up a bit of an older post (I guess it is only a few days old) but if my aging memory serves me correctly Fender Japan did a run of replica (sort of) Cobain jaguars with the modified switch, humbuckers, T-O-M bridge and a bound and dot neck. It wasn't an offical Cobain model but something that FJ did to fill a market need (something they are so good at). I am guessing (my opinion only) that this would be around the same time. I will try and dig a pic of the Cobain version to give you an idea.

Anyone else remember those models?

I remember those (and I actually mentioned them earlier in this thread)

they also released a copy of his Mustangs.....basically a normal mustang, but with a humbucker at the bridge

Thanks, Naturality, that's pretty cool stuff there!

Yeah, it's a shame they don't import them

The jags ain't cheap at all! Which isn't surprising, they're pretty modified. The Stangs look like a decent deal though.

They are attainable....there are two on ebay right now.

Well those certainly look vintage. Are you sure they are reissues? Either way, I love em.
