In this live performance of "If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It"Gary's Fender Classic can be seen at 2:13. This is Gary Lightbody's main guitar used when playing electric versions of Snow Patrol songs. In fact, this model pretty much sums up the Snow Patrol sound as one is owned by every guitarist in the band (these guitarists are Gary (rhythm guitarist 1), Nathan Connolly (lead guitarist), Johnny Mcdaid (rhythm guitarist 2), Iain Archer (guest guitarist) and Garret "Jacknife" Lee (producer).

Gary Lightbody always affixes a 'Celt' sticker to every Telecaster he has owned since 2003 onwards. Source (we see a Celt sticker on his tele in the picture and the article states that he 'has the word ‘Celt’ etched on his guitar'). Gary also always uses a black and white guitar strap on his telecasters.

His main tele is a 2004 reissue of the 1972 version, although he owns multiple 'Telecaster Deluxe' models which all look identical.
