Christopher Vanderkooy's Guitars

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.

"It’s an ‘03 Mexican made Tele, no mods. But I find that era of Mexican Tele’s to be especially nice to play for some reason" - u/peachpitmusic
