Kurt Cobain started to use the Vandalism Strat while on tour after recording Nevermind in around 1991, the Vandalism Strat got smashed up by Kurt on several occasions and the original Fender neck got replaced a few times.

    Two white single coil covers and black for HB is a sharp touch on a black Strat! Congrats, Rob!

    Nice build, the black strat with the white pick guard and hot tail in the bridge. He smashed it as usual is here in Cleveland at the rock hall. His morsite is also here, I’d imagine they have more down at the archives building. Both cool places to visit if you’re ever over here.

    I once modded a Squier to a Cobain strat but I sold it. This vid made me wanna have a Cobain strat again 😊. I now modded my Squier vm hss strat to a Cobain strat and it looks great 😍.

  • @GRBAquatics

    nice build. I'm waiting for my bullet strat HSS, after that i'm gona order couple parts and try to make my own vandalism strat, I just simply love it. Also this video will help me to do some stuff, cause I have no skill on upgrading guitars :D
  • @zeraleph
    i really like your videos! i once did a "reverse" vandalism strat, white body and it was supposed to have a reversed vandal sticker but i smashed it before i could do more stuff to it heh
  • @otekki
    I’ve never built a guitar but I really want to have a go at this
  • @ALWTunes
    Looks awesome. Do you have any of your original music up on Bandcamp or anything? The demos always sound pretty nice, I was just curious. ✌️
  • Great video, I want to make this too. Can u tell me like the entire cost to the build? And u can try to build a budget Kurt Cobain Skystang I, this would be awesome !
  • @andrielseth
    Good job my friend... The way you do looks easy but I'm not good with wires
  • It's weird seeing this being build again since I saw the 1st video of you building the 1st one and demoing it, But hey so far my vandy strat,s been good although the B in the sticker sadly has disappeared due to wear and playing with it, including a bit of the courtesy word and not to mention the left side now has a Black smudge in it, but eeh it's all part of the wearing when you use it extensively hehe 😉.
