NOTES:
One of the most distinct, recognizable guitars in Sonic Youth history. This very bare wood Jaguar had numerous different pick-up configurations throughout its use by Lee, and its body was throughly scratched and layered with duct tape. HOWEVER! As I'd suspected for a while, this guitar was cleaned up in the late '90s, w/ a tortoise shell pickguard added and the pickups replaced with Tele Deluxe pickups (which would make this a Jagblaster?!). It was seen like this in 1998 and 1999 (the bottom 4 pictures). I'd previously thought this cleaned up version was the same guitar used here, a wood Jaguar used by Thurston in the mid-80s, but a new photograph clearly depicting the stickers on this old Jaguar, which match with the '98 pictures, confirm that it is actually this guitar. If that makes any sense! It was stolen in July 1999.
Stripped wood finish, very beaten up
