    NOTES:

  • I had no idea, but apparently Kim was using this guitar way back in 1992! Definitely seen at November and December 1992 gigs, instead of the 'Snoopy' Les Paul for "Swimsuit Issue".
  • Shared by Kim and Jim on the Murray Street tour. Switched to "Plastic Sun" tuning for at least one 2003 gig. Tuning then altered to GDD# for Nurse tunes, Kim's first use of SY's oldest remaining tuning!
