Sonic Youth is set to reopen its Reverb shop on May 21, showcasing a variety of vintage musical equipment, including guitars, pedals, and synthesizers. Among the items are a modified Fender Jazzmaster and Lee Ranaldo's first electric guitar. Notable pieces include a custom EQ used on their debut album and classic studio monitors from the New York Knitting Factory. This initiative reflects a growing trend of bands selling vintage gear, following similar ventures by other notable groups. Fans and collectors can enjoy unique offerings from iconic music history.
"At some point, when my first band, the Fluks, was playing, I needed an amp, and I traded this guitar and, like, $60 to my drummer at that time."
"This guitar... basically set the precedent for exactly what I wanted to play out of the rest of my life, basically."
"Additional items that fans and collectors can purchase include an original Foxx Tone Machine pedal and an acoustic guitar Ranaldo played at one of Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit concerts."
"The extensive record and music memorabilia collection of the late Steve Albini is also currently being sold online via a weekly digital estate sale."
