Fleetwood Mac – Tusk (Deluxe Edition)

In this image, Lindsey Buckingham is playing a Fender Telecaster. He is known to have a few Telecasters, including a distinctive blonde model with a mini humbucker in the middle, a humbucker at the neck, and a Tele single coil at the bridge. This guitar was prominently used during Fleetwood Mac's White Album sessions and tour, particularly for the song "Monday Morning," as noted by Ray Lindsey. Currently, this unique Telecaster, now in an Esquire configuration, is with Lindsey's son, Will. The pictured guitar is a 1952-54 Telecaster, which Buckingham played live from 1977-78 and in the studio, as documented in the Tusk documentary. Although claimed by Richard Dashut to be his, it appears in Buckingham's hands in a 2008 Guitar World DVD.

The Yamaha CP-30 now satisfies McVie as a replacement for the Pianet. She recorded with it for the first time on Tusk, and approximates the Pianet sound live by engaging the first three stops on both groups of stops and using more bass than treble. Her model was modified to eliminate a loud hum that occurred when the volume pedal was opened all the way, but otherwise she has had no complaints about it.

"It can sound a lot like the Hohner," she says, "and it can sound like a Rhodes, really pretty and clean. It has great variety, a volume pedal, a nice sustain, and a dual pitch control where you can tune it just a little out of phase with itself to get a fatter sound, which I like to do. You can use it for so many things I used to have; where I needed three keyboards in the past, I only need this one now. Besides, I think it would be pretentious of me to have a huge stack of keyboards, since I'm not a brilliant keyboard player. I get by, but I'm by no means a genius, and I don't pretend to be. I don't want to come off like Keith Emerson. So long as I can get the sound I need, I'm happy to just stay with the keyboards I have onstage now."
