On May 21, Sonic Youth<\/a> will reopen<\/a> their Reverb shop<\/a> for the third time since launching it<\/a> in 2018. The legendary New York art-rock band is selling a collection of vintage pedals and guitars, among them a studio-used, modified Fender Jazzmaster and Lee Ranaldo\u2019s first-ever electric guitar, a Hagstrom II. Other available gear will include a Ludwig Phase II Synthesizer that gave Washing Machine<\/a>\u2019s 20-minute epic \u201cThe Diamond Sea\u201d its distinctive sound, a custom Parametric EQ used on Sonic Youth\u2019s debut album, Confusion Is Sex, and a set of Urei studio monitors from the original New York Knitting Factory.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point, when my first band, the Fluks, was playing, I needed an amp, and I traded this guitar and, like, $60 to my drummer at that time, David Linton\u2019s sister, who had a Super Reverb Amp,\u201d Ranaldo said of the Hagstrom II in a clip announcing the sale. \u201cThat became my first target amp and it basically set the precedent for exactly what I wanted to play out of the rest of my life, basically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional items that fans and collectors can purchase: an original Foxx Tone Machine pedal, a Mu-Tron Bi-Phase used on Washing Machine and A Thousand Leaves<\/a>, an acoustic guitar Ranaldo played at one of Neil Young\u2019s Bridge School Benefit concerts<\/a>, an electronic tabla, zither, and two stamp pads used to print the image of a guitar neck for writing out chord charts by hand.<\/p>\n

Last year, Modest Mouse<\/a> and Wilco<\/a> both launched their own Reverb stores. The extensive record and music memorabilia collection of the late<\/a> Steve Albini<\/a>\u2014himself a noted Sonic Youth detractor<\/a>\u2014is also currently being sold online<\/a> via a weekly digital estate sale on the website Steve Albini\u2019s Closet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
