Used by Thurston:
1999
1999 -- EG#EG#EG# (Expressway) ?
NOTES:
After waking to discover their gear stolen, the band had to cobble together a set of instruments borrowed from all the other bands playing Irvine's This Ain't No Picnic festival, including Sleater-Kinney, Guided by Voices, The Boredoms, and more. This particular guitar was donated by Mac McCaughan from Superchunk, as revealed on his Instagram (thanks to Peter Krbavac for the tip!). On the recording of this show you can hear Lee comment on the fact that Thurston wrote "Expressway" on the same kind of guitar that he's playing, which would have been a Gibson Marauder. It may have also been retuned for other songs.
