Guitars used by Steve Albini on Pig Pile
One of Steve's two main guitars during both Big Black and Rapeman. Features a brass pickguard, no middle pickup, two Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders (that are wired out of phase), an alembic stratoblaster, Warmouth tele neck (currently, it had a logoless strat neck originally), Mighty Mite hardware, and what looks like a volume pot with no knob on it. Originally acquired by trading a 'Mosrite the Ventures' guitar for it. He regrets this decision.
