Harvey Mandel

Harvy Mandel was seen playing his black fender stratocaster at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. The guitar apears to have a rosewood fretboard, and a tremolo bar.

"Live, Mandel employs modern stompboxes and a VG-99 to reproduce effects he created decades ago in the studio. His Parker Fly Mojo sports an aptly psychedelic finish—flames and a snakeskin-patterned lower bout."

I play through a Roland VG-99 and some Keeley pedals I keep on the side, like fuzz, delay, and compressor. The VG-99 is great because it has a million effects built in. I can sit there and create a bunch of my own patches, so I can have the perfect rhythm sound, the perfect Jimi Hendrix sound, and a perfect backward tape sound at the flip of a button."

"I use .009-.042s, so my E, B, and G are light enough to push into the other ones."

"I use it mostly for the effects, through a Hot Rod DeVille 4x10. Sometimes I will run one of its amp model effects and still run it through an amp."

In this video of Canned Heat performing live at the Beat-Club music TV show, you can see "The Snake" performing with a red customized Tele, equipped with Gibson-type humbuckers (H-H) and a Bigsby, which appears to be a pre-CBS (or pre-1967 in any case) era by looking at the headstock logo. I couldn't find any information at all about it, but I assume that it was customised by himself, as the first Tele being launched from factory with two humbuckers by Fender was the Tele Deluxe in 1972. Who knows...
