Beautiful build. I love how you point out that some of Kurt's guitars can inspire other things, not strictly Nirvana songs. Jimi sounded beautiful on that Strat. Maybe you should do a video of other artists songs that are inspired by his different guitars? Thank you again for a wonderful video. Have a great weekend 😊
One of the greatest Chanel’s ever helped me with all my nirvana tone and my ds1 and helped me whith getting a cheaper pedal for inutero thank you you truly deserve to see this guitar
Hey! I just did a mod to my squier to have it look like the VMA strat only a couple months ago! I used ur documentation vid to get my own just right lol, can’t wait for the video!
No kidding? I was hoping you were the one that picked up the Strat when I saw it up on Marketplace. Glad to see I was right, and to see it with the real deal, that's something really special. Nice work.
The fact Eric has these opportunities to document Kurt’s guitars and figure out everything that was in the guitar, and is able to make an exact replica build is crazy to me. Keep up the absolute awesome work Eric, can’t wait to see what other guitars you’ll get a chance to look at!
Love your passion for Kurt’s guitars. And I learn so much about guitars in general as well. You really surprised and impressed me with that Little Wing riff. Nirvana and Hendrix changed my world when I listened to them for the first time. And I think both bands are siblings when it comes to guitar sounds.
the opportunities you have had with all of kurts guitars is something I wish I could have, lol. Love all your guitars dude, wish I could have a nirvana guitar
I love your content man, is it possible for you to do a Raunchola/Moby cover? I saw that you played some of it during one of your videos but I just wanted to know if you could fully play it? ❤️
Hey man, love your content, I've learnt so many Nirvana riffs from watching your vids, but i was hoping you could make dedicated tutorial vids for riffs? Go step by step on teaching them? That would be awsome because not every song Nirvana has done has been covered by the larger channels like marty music
Kurt has 3 Japanese Fender ST-62LH Reissue Two in Olympic White (VMA and Seattle Colisseum Strat), and one in Black (Sao Paulo Strat) While The Sunburst aka Reading Strat is Fender 1962 (Pre-CBS, Fullerton) Lefthanded Strat
the neck in the vms strat looks to be a pau ferro fingerboard but no clue i havent done my research and its a great video. Greater that you could unite these two guitars!
Seeing the actual VMA strat just made me realize how freakin weird the lefty fenders are. Like the headstock only says fender on it, no Stratocaster or anything else. And the color of the fingerboard is like bright rosewood. I’d love to see someone actually recreate a left handed strat but for a righty player and vice versa
Hey man I really love how deep your into Kurt cobain music just like me,I noticed that you haven’t done a video on one of his most iconic and my personally favorite song off All time Where Did You Sleep Last Night,can you do a video on how he played it
Great to get some information about the different model strats. I know what you mean though. My KC mustang plays significantly better than my Mexican mustang. Now I know which strat to buy next 🤔😁
you should make a video on the Blonde F-hole Archtop Harmony guitar used in Come as you are music video to see how it sounds and see if it was used on any other Nirvana songs
As a left handed player, I wish i could rebuild builds like this. But it's so much money, like i'm trying to acquire a fender neck for my vandalism build because i'm eager to have a 1 to 1 build of kurt's. But for a fender neck with the two different wood colors for the neck and fretboard, it costs me 100 dollars.
This has no link to this video but what tuning is smells like teen Spirit in because I was watching them at paramount in 1991 to try recreate tone and kurt played it after switching to the vandalism strat which is what he played r8 me and about a girl on these are both half step down was teen spirit also half step down whilst live?
Yeah, I said you have to find real japanese guitar and you found it! Good deal! Waiting for Mosrite Mark IV sound and actually you can made one of Mustang with Univox humbucker like Kurt did (2 of them: blue and pink)
Eric, I found a nice 2006 that is spot on like yours. I bought a one ply pickguard but the holes don't align. Did you have to drill two in the guitar to make it fit?
Ive been thinking about the hot rails pickup since I did my own replica months ago, I always thought his was a neck hot rails pickup because of the reasons in your video, but there was also a case for a SHR-1neck hot rail along with his teen spirit mustang that supposedly was just random, could it be that it belonged to this guitar instead?
Hey eric is it ok if i request a mexican seafood cover in the martin D18e build? ive always wanted to know how it would’ve sounded :D (oh and i forgot something, could it be with the original incesticide tuning? im a real fan of yours :D)
do you know what pickup selection kurt used on in utero tone? (also if you would check up my drain you vocal cover i would really appreciate it. i love your channel).
Which american strat? Which jap? Which mex? It’s not about the country, it’s about the specs (series and years). Like here he’s talking that it’s japanese neck is better than the mexican. But he compares a modern specs neck (modern C, 42mm nut, 9.5 radius, narrow tall frets) vs a vintage specs 90s jap neck (60s C, 41mm, 7.25, vintage low frets). Sure the vintage specs will feel comfy for someone with rather small hands playing rythm parts and using his thumb hendrix style, while for most people, for playing modern rock and fast leadwork and big bends, the mexican will be better. And if he compared to vintage specs mexican necks (classic series, vintera2) he couldnt tell which is which with the japanese, just feeling small differences in shape / dimensions, and the mexican polyester little less sticky, and maybe he would even prefer a mexican one if the dimensions fit his hands / playing better. Like he would probably hate all those modern specs american necks from nowadays. It’s just not about the country.
That's sonic spirituality. I'm pretty sure your Strat just booped Kurt's Strat's snoot. It's safe to say, don't quote me on that. Amazing dude
By far one of the best comments I've ever gotten 😂
On A Plain mentioned 🔥🔥
Eric I can’t express how jealous I am, you are truly living a nirvana fans life
2:24 I never imagined seeing Eric playing a Hendrix song
Eric should do a side series where he covers other famous songs in nirvana style, would love to see a foxy lady cover done like that
@@Vinyl_guyyess that'd be sick
2:25 Dude, you are super talented at playing guitar. You really nailed that Hendrix vibe there.
Thank you so so much!
2:23 rare moment when *nirvanaguitars* plays hendrix. didnt think id see this day
Thanks for making that video and chatting with me Eric. You’re the best and see you next week!
Thank you for being such an awesome supporter, I don't take it for granted! See you next week my friend 🥹
@@NirvanaGuitars Of course! I’m your biggest fan. And by the way, did you see my email?

this is absolutely amazing. i absolutely love what youve done with that strat
Ill always Remember your old VMA strat build! Keep up the content❤
I was wondering why you sold your original VMA strat replica on eBay, now I know.
Can't justify having 2 lol 😂
@@NirvanaGuitarsooh so that’s what happened to it.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD JIMI HENDRIX PLAYED ON A KURT STRAT! You should make a full Little Wing cover on your other channel!
Hey! I just did a mod to my squier to have it look like the VMA strat only a couple months ago! I used ur documentation vid to get my own just right lol, can’t wait for the video!
Awesome little wing! That strat is sick
Can’t wait dude
Awesome video. Been a fan since 2018!!!

Of all the Hendrix songs you could have played, you played my favourite Hendrix song. You’re the best, Eric
🥹 🙏
I'm seeing double here!
Four Kurt Strats?!
Nice! Your channel is authentic this is an accurate built! Beautiful guitar! Well done!
Didn't expect some Hendrix on this channel 🙂 the guitar looks beautiful
Your vma is a masterpiece, bro!

crazy how it seems like it’s from a different timeline and here it is
There we go! Love it.
Much better color and more accurate replica than your first one.
Already expressed my love in the live chat, so I'm just pleasing the algorithm here. Thanks again Eric!
Thank you as always my friend!! What you suggested in the chat makes me feel a lot better about having neck hot rails in this guitar 😂
You seem like an awesome friend to the people how know u irl bro! I love your content
Can’t believe it awesome 🙏
I cant wait!!
Didn’t expect to hear little wing on a nirvana guitar video. A great surprise
I love your content man, is it possible for you to do a Raunchola/Moby cover? I saw that you played some of it during one of your videos but I just wanted to know if you could fully play it? ❤️
Very cool build.🤘
Hello from Kazakhstan
I admire you, thanks to you I learned to play better, thank you.I hope you notice!!!

2:23 that’s little wing by Jimi Hendrix… (good touch Eric)
When a strat sounds like THAT, you gotta play some Jimi on it!!
I can't find vintage hot rails to save my life.
Great video and many thanks!

Two in Olympic White (VMA and Seattle Colisseum Strat), and one in Black (Sao Paulo Strat)
While The Sunburst aka Reading Strat is Fender 1962 (Pre-CBS, Fullerton) Lefthanded Strat
Let’s go!! Did you get to borrow the guitar from the guy who won it? Or did you just go to him and film it at his house?
it would make sense if it was a 90s neck hotrail, because he played lithium. the studio version is speculated to be used with a neck pickup.
Awesome. The only better than this is Kurt playing YOUR guitars 😎
the neck in the vms strat looks to be a pau ferro fingerboard but no clue i havent done my research and its a great video. Greater that you could unite these two guitars!
Hey, are you considering making or getting a replica of the blue SG that Kurt used in Tijuana?
Lucky!! I got to see skystang 1 at the mo pop museum back in 2022 as well as kurdts other gear!
Hi! I love the videos. I just wanted to say that you guitar looks and sounds lot like Kurt's!

Three days grace school 2003
Are you thinking about buying the guitar used in the Come As You Are video?
Cool man!
if Kurt loved light weight guitars, why he never played ibanez s series? they r amazingly comfortable!
love your content more than i can express have you or can you try and recreate the hairspray queen tone?
I WISH IT WAS ME😭😭😭
Great to get some information about the different model strats. I know what you mean though. My KC mustang plays significantly better than my Mexican mustang.
Now I know which strat to buy next 🤔😁
you should make a video on the Blonde F-hole Archtop Harmony guitar used in Come as you are music video to see how it sounds and see if it was used on any other Nirvana songs
Awesome!! And i was wondering, are u going to build other kurt hotrail strats?? For example reading strats and late 1991 nevermind tour strat...
Thank you! I don't think so no, as they would be the same exact guitar as this one but just different colors
what would make this even cooler is if you could try and replicate the messages and signatures, so it looks like you’ve fixed kurt’s one!
Would you say the new Vintera II 60s Strat OW is the same color tone as your MIJ and the VMA? Really cool videos!!

What if Pat smear joined Nirvana during the Bleach or Nevermind era?
Your should do a replicia of kurts sg with an epiphone
Great, I said the same idea.
the blue sg would be so cool
@@alejandrohuerta602 oh wait I didn't see your comment it would be so cool, quite frankly I'm surprised kristore hasn't made a replica.
Ok thanks for saying it👍

I while back I got a 1987 fujigen mustang in sonic blue I’m planning to mod it to skystang 1 specs
Could the idea of a Neck Hotrails possibly be related to the box from the competition mustang auction?
Japanese Fender guitars are severely underrated
His wife: “ Honey?! What happened to all our money I wanted to buy a new dress! “
Eric: 🙄😐🤔
I know it doenst have a lot to do qith the pinta of the video bur that little qing riff its clean af
You should do the of the ramp cafe tone next
Eric, I found a nice 2006 that is spot on like yours. I bought a one ply pickguard but the holes don't align. Did you have to drill two in the guitar to make it fit?
Dude you should do some Hendrix covers, cuz man. That was good
Ive been thinking about the hot rails pickup since I did my own replica months ago, I always thought his was a neck hot rails pickup because of the reasons in your video, but there was also a case for a SHR-1neck hot rail along with his teen spirit mustang that supposedly was just random, could it be that it belonged to this guitar instead?
its so shiny!
Are you ever gonna do a video on Kurt's gibson sg
Hey eric
is it ok if i request a mexican seafood cover in the martin D18e build? ive always wanted to know how it would’ve sounded :D (oh and i forgot something, could it be with the original incesticide tuning? im a real fan of yours :D)
Are you going to do the tone for the vma start at Buenos Aires?
That'd be a fun a one to tackle!
@@NirvanaGuitars Yeah especially the improv song at the beginning when Kurt roasted the crowd.
Now you have to smash it the same way to be 100% accurate
you gotta like, dry out the fretboard now, get EVEN CLOSER ... lolz but dang, that's pretty cool....
This guitar vs your old 1992 strat
What loop pedal did Kurt use for solos
do you know what pickup selection kurt used on in utero tone? (also if you would check up my drain you vocal cover i would really appreciate it. i love your channel).
I just watch that telemarket scam vid of your and was wandering would you ever do a guitar giveaway
Did Kurt play low action ?
It would be cool if you write the each of the band members writings on your guitar.
waiting for stratocaster with tune-o-matic
damn BOI!
Can you please recreate the tone for smells like teen spirit live on the word 1991 if you can
What strap locks are they? They’re different than the Skystang ones right?
An America strat beats both the Mexican and Japanese stats In my opinion. Awesome video and awesome piece of rock n roll history.
Which american strat? Which jap? Which mex? It’s not about the country, it’s about the specs (series and years). Like here he’s talking that it’s japanese neck is better than the mexican. But he compares a modern specs neck (modern C, 42mm nut, 9.5 radius, narrow tall frets) vs a vintage specs 90s jap neck (60s C, 41mm, 7.25, vintage low frets). Sure the vintage specs will feel comfy for someone with rather small hands playing rythm parts and using his thumb hendrix style, while for most people, for playing modern rock and fast leadwork and big bends, the mexican will be better. And if he compared to vintage specs mexican necks (classic series, vintera2) he couldnt tell which is which with the japanese, just feeling small differences in shape / dimensions, and the mexican polyester little less sticky, and maybe he would even prefer a mexican one if the dimensions fit his hands / playing better. Like he would probably hate all those modern specs american necks from nowadays. It’s just not about the country.
How does this one compare to your K-Records tilted humbucker Strat?
