Used by Thurston:
1985
1985 -- F#F#F#F#EB (Brave Men Run, Death Valley '69, World Looks Red)
NOTES:
I've only ever seen Thurston use this at the 10/10/85 Bremen show. It seemed to replace the blue Jazzmaster for the F# songs -- possibly because they'd moved "Brave Men"/"Death Valley" into the encore and it was easier to use a different guitar than try to tune the blue Jazz after the drumstick abuse it received during "I Love Her All The Time" and "Ghost Bitch" in the main set.
I suspect that they may have covered it in duct tape (?) as a sunburst finish can be seen peeking through this guitar's odd coat.
It appears to be very similar to a Teisco ET-220.
Sunburst finish
2 silver single coils
Rosewood fretboard
Black (red?) pickguard
