Used by Lee/Thurston:
1999-2001
1999 -- CGCCGA#/C (Free City Rhymes, Renegade Princess, Side2Side - LEE)
2000 -- ? (probably same as FCR/RP, for "J'Accuse Ted Hughes" at All Tomorrow's Parties 2000 - THURSTON) & G# A# G#/A# A#/A C#/D# E/F# (Side2Side - LEE)
2001 -- G# A# G#/A# A#/A C#/D# E/F# (Side2Side - LEE)
NOTES:
The 4th Kent guitar used by Lee over the years. This was a 12-string model produced between '67 and '68. Lee began using it after the gear theft in July 1999, before replacing it with a new Fender XII (he still used the Kent exclusively for "side2side" though). Strung up with 10 strings instead of 12 -- the bottom 2 weren't doubled up.
Thurston used it for the infamous "J'Accuse Ted Hughes" performance captured on SYR7.
This guitar was touring with the Sensational Fix exhibit.
