NOTES:
The first of several Mustangs acquired by Lee, modified w/ a humbucker between the 2 single coils. After the gear theft in July '99, Lee dug this out to use on the new "nyc ghosts" material, then replaced it with a Jazzmaster for the 2000 tour, allowing Jim to use the Mustang. Lee returned to this guitar for 'Cross the Breeze' on the Daydream Nation shows beginning in '07.
The picture of Thurston playing a sunburst Mustang is intriguing -- it may be this guitar, if the contrast of the pic has washed out the humbucker. Otherwise I have no idea what guitar he's using! Looks like Daydream era?
