Cobain had a Mid 60's Sunburst Fender XII electric 12-string, serial # F 136692, dot neck, right-handed (unlike most, if not all, of Kurt's other Fenders). It had cherub stickers on it. He wrote "Serve the Servants" on this guitar. but were damaged in the Spring of 1992. Kurt hid some guitars, Fender Electric XII, Blue Mosrite Mark IV, songbooks, and tapes in their bathtub figuring burglars wouldn't look in the tub, were the house ever robbed. The bathtub filled with sewage and damaged his guitar the most-- the body was water-stained about halfway up, split, and warped. Earnie offered to build a new body for it, but Kurt didn't think the guitar was worth saving. Kurt was very depressed about the unfortunate accident to this guitar. Purchased around the end part of the "Nevermind" tour. The Blue Mosrite Mark IV that was damaged in bathtub incident. Kurt gave this to Pat at SNL 1993.

Confirmed by former FZ drummer Terry Bozzio, FZ used a modified Fender Electric XII 12 string electric guitar on the song "The Ocean is the Ultimate Solution" from the album "Sleep Dirt". Bozzio states, "He played it on a real interesting Fender 12-string that had a Barcus Berry [pickup] in the neck. he had the bottom strings tuned to major 7ths. . . I think he had every string tuned to a different interval, so it was like a major 7th then a minor 7th. the next ones were you know, a tritone major 3rd and a minor 3rd. And he had the low strings panned left an the high strings panned right, and the Barcus Berry panned center; he had this glass-shattering 12-string sound. it was really unique."

Purchased as a replacement for the Fender 12 stolen in July 1999. Strung up with 10 strings instead of 12 -- the bottom 2 weren't doubled up. Replaced by the Deimel 12-string in 2006, Lee seems to have returned to the Fender. Not sure specifically when the transition occurred. Sunburst body 12-string neck 3 jazz-style pickups Rosewood fretboard Tortoise shell pickguard 1 toggle switch 2 knobs Tuning written on tape on body. Listed as "12ST" on 2000 set lists.
