Santiago Durango's Guitars

Durango uses a late 70s Fender Telecaster finished in Sahara Taupe. The checkerboard effect was done with electrical tape and was only added during the band's final tour, as during a January 1987 show at the CBGB, Durango's Telecaster was uncheckered. The two humbuckers in the neck and middle positions are Bartolinis, which were installed in 1986 to replace the previous humbuckers. Among the controls is a toggle switch, presumably for the Bartolinis. Durango used this guitar in Naked Raygun, initially unmodified with a white pickguard and stock pickups. He later added a yellow humbucker in the neck position while still in Raygun. The dual humbuckers and black pickguard wouldn't appear until Big Black. Perhaps it was modified earlier during Durango's brief stint with The Interceptors. The guitar was destroyed at Big Black's final show.

During an undated show, Durango used Steve Albini's custom "That's The Thing" partscaster, presumably as a backup to his taupe Tele.
