In this image taken around 1990, you can see Flansburgh holding a Fender MIJ '62 reissue telecaster, in a left-handed orientation. Some key aspects of this guitar are the white binding around the body and the softer 'woodgrain' effect due to the sunburst finish used. The video reveals another aspect of recognition at 0:55, being the slightly more orange headstock due to the lacquer used.
