Christopher Vanderkooy

Chris’s main guitar, a candy apple red Fender Telecaster. Can be seen in nearly every Peach Pit live show, with the exception of Brian’s Movie (as far as I know). In this Reddit post from a Peach Pit Q&A, Chris says that it is an ‘03 Mexican made Tele with no mods.

In an instagram livestream Chris says that he uses a Line 6 multi FX unit for gigging and in this photo you can see him using the HD500 (not 500X). It's also seen very briefly at about 2:10 in Peach Pit's doc part 1.
