Used by Lee:
1983-1986
1983 -- GGDDD#D# (Kill Yr Idols, Brother James, Early American)
1985 -- GGDDD#D# (Kill Yr Idols, Brother James, Flower, Green Light)
1986 -- EADECD/EADGBE (World Looks Red, Shaking Hell)
NOTES:
The first of several Kent guitars used by Lee over the years. This model was produced from 1967-68. It broke onstage while tuning, on July 7th 1986 in San Francisco. He replaced it with a Kapa Continental.
It can be seen being played by Mike Gira in backstage pictures from June 18th, 1982. It can also be seen onstage behind Lee in pix from SY's set. However, Lee is not seen using the guitar until the appearance of the GDD# material, so perhaps it belonged to Swans initially?
