Andy Summers

This 1963 Fender Telecaster is the one Summers has been most associated with. It's unknown who customized most of the guitar. It has Gibson PAF humbucker pickup in neck position.

Used extensively live and on several recordings, as per the historical accounts Fender provided as part of the marketing copy for their custom-shop re-creation

This guitar was the one Andy used in the "Synchronicity tour." He also used this one to record "Ghost In the Machine" as well. Andy says in this article from Music Radar "The few guitars I did this record with were a Stratocaster, which is one that Fender made for me; it’s kind of a replica of my 1961 red Strat."

In a Guitar International interview, Andy Summers says of the Fender Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster: "Fender, for instance, came to me to ask if they could make the Telecaster... They took the whole thing to pieces, photographed it, measured it, videoed it, and somehow made a map of all the scratches and the paint that was missing... The trickiest part about it was actually the electronics... Because it’s got a Gibson humbucker on the front, and a Tele pickup on the bridge position, and then it’s got this overdrive built into it."

Andy Summers talks this Gibson ES-335 in this interview with Guitar International. He says, "My 'third' electric guitar, if you will, would be the 335, outside of getting into classical or acoustic guitars. It depends on the music."

Andy gave this guitar away to Eric Clapton according to this article from Guitar International - "With a career that spans being a member of The Animals, selling a young Eric Clapton his ’59 Les Paul..."

In the mid-70s, Allan Gittler -a New York designer- wanted to take a concept to the minimum expression, also to demonstrate to his fellow builders that that of sustain and wood was sovereign nonsense. So he made a guitar in which wood does not exist.

Starting with a stainless steel frame as if it were a fish bone, he placed up to 31 frets, individual pickups for each of the strings, weighing less than 2 kg and a revolutionary micro-tuning system (most likely this system it was the inspiration for another innovative guitar, the Steinberger). One of these Gittlers was acquired by Andy Summers (The Police) and can be seen in the Syncronicity video. Some of them can be seen in prestigious museums of modern art.

“Man, I saw this D-28…” and he said, “We just made 10 reissues of those in our Authentic series, where we go back to the original way certain models were made including using animal glue, which makes all the difference.” Long story short, I did get a Martin D-28 Authentic.
