NOTES:
This guitar may have been built by Thurston's brother Gene, or at least given to him by Gene. It apparently started out with a Fender neck, but somewhere along the way it ended up with a G&L ASAT neck, presumably suffering some kind of fatal abuse during one of the many extended "Expressway" outros in the early 90s.
I thought the picture of Lee playing this was from "Inhuman" at 08/21/91 Dublin (in GABDEG). This was based on dialog about "your brother's guitar" before the song. However, in footage from This Is Known As The Blues Scale Lee is seen playing his old wood Jaguar for "Inhuman".
