Fender American Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar

In this Facebook photo posted March 2011 by Stereophonics, Kelly Jones can be seen playing a Fender Telecaster electric guitar. A [color photo](https://www.facebook.com/stereophonics/photos/pb.15082530875.-2207520000.1415942400./10150147611470876/?type=3&theater) reveals the finish of his Tele to be butterscotch blonde. Another detail of his particular tele is the inclusion of a third control knob, as opposed to the usual two on most stock Fender Telecasters.

Adam Young's studio has six Fender guitars. The first is an American Standard Telecaster.

"Purchased and modified in 1996(probably) or 1997, after his original Tele was stolen in October 1995. This guitar has been converted into a Telecaster Plus and has the same modifications* and pickups as his main Plus. It is also from ‘92 - ‘93(?).Jonny brings this guitar on every tour as a backup. Jonny’s No2 Telecaster is most likely an American Telecaster Standard. (The MIM Standard had 21 frets rather than 22, and the American Deluxe was contoured.) From the mid 90’s, so a first model American Standard. The bridge on the guitar was replaced with one shaped like that of a standard Telecaster, but which has a larger hole to fit a humbucker. Killswitch, strange knob, removal of volume knob. At some time around In Rainbows era, Plank fitted it with a Korg Kaoss Pad KP2 screen(as can be seen in this photo), but it has yet to be used live." -Source: The King of Gear http://thekingofgear.com/jonny/chordophones

At 2:06 into this video named "Tom Morello Guitars & Home Studio," Morello talks about his 1982 Fender Telecaster "Sendero Luminoso." It appears to be a standard American Telecaster (he reveals in other interviews it is a 1982 model), with a black finish, white pickguard, and a maple neck. From the looks of it is stock, and is adorned with several stickers. He says: "This is my main drop D tuning guitar for my entire career. Inexpensive, made in the USA Telecaster. I traded my roommate (he was in a band called Liquid Jesus). He needed a Marshall head and I needed a guitar that I could tune down, play grunge-worthy heavy riffs with. And so the exchange was made, and this is in a song with all the Rage [Against The Machine], Audioslave, Street Sweeper [Social Club], The Nightwatchman songs that are in drop D tuning. Killing in the Name, Freedom, Testify, all those that are in drop D, played and written with the band on this."
