NOTES:
Used more often in videos than live, it was used briefly in August 1990 during 2 performances of "Mildred Pierce". Jim dug it out of the studio 12 years later for use at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival!
This was Jim's primary guitar for non-Murray Street songs (except GODHEAD which is in GDD#) on the Murray tour. For "White Kross" and "Tom Violence" he tuned it down a half-step to be in F# like Lee and Thurston.
