Used by Lee:
2009-2010
2009 -- CGDCGD (What We Know)
2010 -- solo shows
NOTES:
This is the first prototype for Lee's custom signature Jazzmaster -- the only difference I see is that this one has a regular headstock where-as the finished model has a black headstock. Lee has used the prototype live, though possibly only for solo gigs -- but he did use it for 'What We Know' on the Pitchfork A>D>D session (he used the 'finished' model for the remainder of the songs).
Auctioned in October 2018 on Reverb (with a spare neck).
As of September 2010, Lee is still using this for his solo gigs (typically hung from the ceiling pendulum-style).
