Eric replaced the stock white pickguard covers, knob, and switch with black parts. GUITARS KIM JAZZMASTER (MASCIS) - This is a J Mascis signature Jazzmaster that Kim uses for DADABD ("Antenna" "Leaky Lifeboat" & "Massage the History"). As always, the pictures are comically oversized and I'd recommend opening them in a new window if you want to resize them.
For now, I'll just stick them all together here, and add them into each guitar's page 'soon'. So, in short: here's a shitload of pix and as much corresponding information as I managed to scrawl down. Those two deserve a huge amount of credit for their enthusiasm and knowledge, not to mention the hard work they do on the side of the stage each night! I should also thank crew dudes Aaron and Jeremy for accomodating me while they were doing real work, and of course the band for letting me get this stuff out for y'all to see. Perhaps a separate photo session/conversation would've yielded better results, but fortunately the photos turned out well. I tried to write down as much info as I could to supplement the photographs but I have to admit I was fighting pretty hard with my camera and a lot of the hardware-specific details they threw at me probably did not make it to paper.
My eternal thanks to sonic techs Eric and Matt, who demonstrated remarkable patience and provided me with more information than my mind could handle (literally!). As a result, you won't see every guitar in this update, but I assure you anything missing (mostly Thurston's stuff) has not changed much since 2006. In the interest of efficiency (and at the mercy of a very poorly timed uncooperative camera), I chose to focus first on new gear and items not previously photographed, then capturing previously documented guitars as time allowed. Hello again! Here's part 2 of the great summer 2009 gear guide update, aka The Eternal Tour Equipment Exposé! I took about 200 pictures of SY's gear before soundcheck in Portland on July 28th, my first chance to do an in-depth photo session since July 2006.
