That guys tone doesn’t sound as smooth and sparkly
It sounds a little too harsh for me though it’s pretty close to Kurt’s sound.

I think the reason Kurt played with fenders was his attempt at being mainstream acceptable to some extent (though it’s not completely mainstream for sure) but the mainstream likes sparkly chiming guitar tones a lot of the biggest indie bands have that kind of tone

I’m not really sure what a mainstream rock guitar tone really sounds like though, the more I think about it the more I think Fender most of the time
