    NOTES:

  • A Fender Subsonic first used on some new tunes in October 2001 (though it could have been used earlier, for all I know). This gtr is traditionally tuned down to BEADGB (like a 6-string 7-string) but Lee uses a tuning specific to E's and B's. He also used it for the resurrection of "Shaking Hell" on April 20th, 2006 in Paris.
