Is the Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar NOS worth buying, or should I consider alternatives?

The Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar NOS is worth considering if you specifically want the Cobain model in 3-Tone Sunburst. At the supplied best new price of £1,599, it is close in price to the Jim Root Telecaster and Mike McCready Stratocaster.
The Kurt Cobain Jaguar NOS makes the most sense if this particular model is your priority. The supplied information does not include specifications or playing impressions, so it cannot establish whether its sound or feel will suit you better than the alternatives.
For a similar budget, compare the Fender Jim Root Telecaster Flat White at £1,499 and the Fender Mike McCready Stratocaster RW 3-Color Sunburst at £1,639. These are price comparisons rather than claims that the guitars offer equivalent features; try them side by side if possible.
If value matters more than owning a particular artist model, the Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH Amber has a lower supplied best new price of £999. The Top 10 best-value used electric guitars list is another useful starting point for comparing used options before committing.
