Eric Clapton used the 1954 Fender Telecaster both live and in the studio during the 1970s, as shown in the user-uploaded photo.

Here we have a rare 1954 Fender Telecaster in mint condition. It's a fantastic and classic-sounding instrument that was a gift to Paul McCartney from his wife, Nancy. You can hear this guitar showcased on the track "Pretty Boys." McCartney plays this Tele through his vintage Vox AC30 amplifier for that track's main guitar part. You can also hear this guitar notably used on the track "Lavatory Lil."

"A lot of 'The Smiths' was actually recorded with a '54 Telecaster belonging to John Porter. I used a Rickenbacker 360 12-string as well, and that was the guitar which subsequently got all the attention, but in fact it was mainly the Tele, and a bit of Les Paul.

"This Charming Man" was the first record where I used those highlife-sounding runs in 3rds. I'm tuned up to F# and I finger it in G, so it comes out in A. There are about 15 tracks of guitar. People thought the main guitar was a Rickenbacker, but it's really a '54 Tele."

John Porter said this about the guitar in a 2008 interview: "I also have one that's a refinished guitar, back to butterscotch. It's a 1954 I got from an old friend Alan Rogan when all my guitars were stolen. It had a route for a humbucker, a couple of frets were missing, the pickguard was in pieces, and the nut had fallen out... I bought it for £17 and Roger [Giffin] refurbished it. It became a fantastic guitar! When I was working with the Smiths, Johnny only had two guitars - a Rickenbacker and a Gretsch Super Chet, I believe. It was a bit limited; to my ear we needed a good Tele. I brought in the refin, and Johnny really loved it. So every record I did with the Smiths, on every single song, most of the chiming Rickenbackers are in fact the Tele!"

"Right, right! It’s a ’54 Tele that I think went back for a [factory] refinish in ’57. I got it from Paul McKenzie, from Fiesta Finishes in Berkeley, California, and he had just refinished it. As a guitarist you know that those are kind of untouchable, usually, as far buying them, or finding them at a reasonable price, but because it had two refinishes it wasn’t exactly “stock.” The pickups and everything else is original, it’s just been painted a couple times." - Fretboard Journal.

"This '54 Tele - it's a favorite Tele. I prefer to have the Broadcaster out but for whatever reason he'll take it out. I like the Broadcaster just because the way it is, I mean that's what was done on American Girl and all the first recordings was all Tele sub. This is really solid and it's for Women in Love. That's what he's playing on this," says Mike Campbell's guitar tech about the Fender 1954 Telecaster Electric Guitar. The Tele pictured here has a black Rainbow pick guard. the guitar that mike always refers to as his broadcaster is actually post-55 Telecaster with a replaced pickguard and decal. both pickguard and decal had already been replaced when Mike bought the guitar 1976.
