Epiphone G-310 Electric Guitar Formerly Owned by Carrie Brownstein
This Epiphone G-310 guitar was used by Carrie Brownstein (b. 1974) from 1993-1999 for songwriting, recording, and performing. Before she co-founded the musical band Sleater-Kinney and became an award-winning writer and actress on Portlandia, Brownstein was a teenage telemarketer in Seattle, Washington. Every day at lunch, Brownstein visited a music store on University Avenue, near the University of Washington, to look at this guitar and eventually purchased the instrument.
The Northwest-based band, Sleater-Kinney, originally formed as a side project of riot grrrl musical acts Heavens to Betsy and Excuse 17 in 1994, then rose to prominence with a series of albums released on the independent Olympia, Washington (and now Portland, Oregon) record label Kill Rock Stars. In 2001, Time Magazine named Sleater-Kinney “America’s Best Rock Band.” This guitar was used to develop the signature Sleater- Kinney two-guitar sound.
