“When my first band was playing, I needed an amp. I traded this guitar and $60 to my drummer's sister, who had a Super Reverb”: Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo is selling his first-ever electric guitar on the band's relaunched Reverb store

Experimental rock juggernauts Sonic Youth are partnering with Reverb for the third time to sell a collection of studio-used gear – including Lee Ranaldo's first-ever electric guitar: a Hagstrom II.

Although it was mainly played in his high school bedroom before it was traded for a Fender Super Reverb amp, the Jaguar-meets-Mosrite-style model would serve as one of the key building blocks of what would later become a bona fide, boundary-pushing playing style.
