Steve Albini's 'Black Sled'

Steve Albini's 'Black Sled'

Solid Body Electric Guitars

This was Steve's main guitar during the later days of Big Black/Early Rapeman, before switching to Travis Bean. Little is known about the origins of this guitar, other than it was made (probably) custom for him in an Evanston guitar store (Flynn Guitars). He smashed it in Big Black's final show, and had it replaced with an identical guitar before Rapeman began. Rumors have it that Kurt Cobain had some of the broken pieces from the show. The replacement now resides in the studio, and was last used in Big Black's 2006 reunion show.

"That the thing" Partscaster

"That the thing" Partscaster

Solid Body Electric Guitars

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.
