Fender jaguar style guitar?

[kuro]

Does anyone know if there are any decent jaguar style guitars available. My daughter is showing a sustained interest in guitar and now wants an electric. Shes a huge fan of Kurt cobain and wants a guitar in this style. Oh, and like cobain she is left handed.

I was going to suggest one of these new Squier Vintage Modified / Classic Vibe guitars as they get rave reviews:

But I am afraid I have no idea about the availability of left handed ones.

He did play a Strat occasionally, so there is always this:

Saw the squier last night, that would be perfect but cant find any info on left handers.

Ive also seen the revelation jazzmaster which looks similar but i understand it would be tonally different to the jaguar.

The idea of a jaguar was going nowhere unless I spent a shed load on a signature replica.

What i have managed to find is an ex display vintage V6 icon in road worn boulevard black at a vastly reduced price. The plan is to swap out the white pick guard for a black one and add a replica vandal sticker I found on ebay.

The end result will hopefully bear a passable resemblance to KCs vandalism strat. I'll post up a photo when its done.

Ok, heres the replica of the vandalism strat based on a vintage v6 icon I did for my daughter. I swapped the pickguard to a 3 ply black one, changed the knobs and added the sticker. There are a few differences, this doesnt have a rosewood fret board and the body is a matt finish but she is over the moon with it. Its a pretty good quality guitar with wilkinson hardware throughout and has a lovely tone to it. I also got her a laney linebacker modelling amp so she even gets to sound like KC.

As I understand it, although he did play the jagstangs that fender produced for him, he apparently hated them!

The battered strat is the way forward, complete with bridge humbucker in some cases iirc.

Yes that’s another difference, the vintage is an s/s/s strat whereas cobains was an h/s/s. I could have got a cheapo westfield or squire bullet but I read some good reviews of the vintage so it was worth sacrificing some of the finer details.
