Jason Simon, the singer and guitarist for Dead Meadow, confirmed in a 2019 audio interview on YouTube with EveryoneLovesGuitar that he has used a Fender Telecaster Plus V1 (1989-1995) for nearly all of his work with the band. During the interview, Simon detailed the blue/red dually lace sensor setup, which is distinctive to the Telecaster Plus V1, noting its similarity to the guitar used by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. He also mentioned that his guitar's natural ash finish and maple fretboard, which were standard features of this model. A black and white photo of Simon performing on stage, used as the graphic/title card for the video, clearly shows the unique pickup array of the Telecaster Plus V1, including the chrome surround of the bridge pickup, which is specific to the model.
