TEISCO(?) HAGSTROM-STYLE (WHITE)
   
Used by Thurston/Lee: 1986

  • 1986 -- F#F#F#F#EB (LEE - Death To Our Friends)

    NOTES:

  • Several pictures from SY's January 10th, 1986 NYC show appeared on instagram, including this curious pic of Thurston playing another Teisco(?) Hagstrom style, similar to this one. I've never seen him use this again, but the other pics have Lee using his Ovation so this pic could have been taken while they were playing a song in F#F#F#F#EB.
  • Lee is seen using this guitar for "Death To Our Friends" in a video of the 06/27/86 Houston show. It may have been a backup for the red Hondo guitar, which was his usual F# gtr.
  • The guitar is featured prominently in a picture of the band surrounded by their gear circa '86, and it appears to be covered in duct tape or something equivalent, which suggests that it may actually be this guitar.
  • White body
  • 2 pickups
  • Rosewood fretboard
  • Black pickguard
  • Plastic tuners
