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
In this video, Chris plays a sonic blue Stratocaster through the entire song, first being seen at 0:50.
