The Native Pro is a Sustainer model guitar endorsed by Lee in the late 90s. Black body 2 humbuckers Fender vibrato tailpiece added Rosewood fretboard 1 toggle switch 3 knobs White pickguard Trem bar"
Hondo Fame 12-String Electric Guitar
"After exchanging the Viper with Thurston, Lee used this guitar for F#F#F#F#EB on the American EVOL tours, and later for "PCH". While the neck had me fooled into thinking this was a Fender, I suspect that was exactly the intention behind Hondo's "Fame" logo. It's finally been identified, though!"- Chris Lawrence.
