Thank you @gibsonguitar I used to dream of this guitar. What a lovely gift. ‘I always a wanna die, sometimes’ - Live?

In this video https://youtu.be/g5_hk-n9Zo0, We can see that Matty is using a ‘Rickenbacker 330 Maplego 6-String’ Electric Guitar while performing ‘Sex’ under the moniker as 'B I G S L E E P’ in 2011.
On the video, Matty can be seen holding the 1966 Fender Jaguar in factory black with matching headstock, bound neck and block inlays. He bought this guitar at Normans Rare Guitar shop in LA. He will be using it on the second full length album.
Matty plays this Dot in "Ghosts" around 2011. (Post Drive Like I Do, maybe during the B I G S L E E P or The Slowdown Era). It's most likely an Epiphone since he (or Adam, cause he's used it too) put tape over the headstock, covering the brand. Both the Vintage Sunburst finish and the design in the headstock match.
In this live performance (and others) you can see Healy playing a Martin 000-28 with some sort of neck hole pickup installed.

The article confirms all of the details of the guitar. As well as it's history.
"I picked up the '62 Fiesta Red Strat out of its case and saw a 5 digit serial number, spaghetti style logo, faded mint green pickguard, and worn custom color Fiesta Red finish. The 5 digit serial number beginning with 82xxx falls right in line with the range we would expect for 1962 (More: Fender Serial Numbers). The spaghetti style logo with three patent numbers was introduced late 1962 and lasted until mid 1964. The celluloid pickguard, which most collectors refer to as mint green because of the look it gets after fading over time, was updated to a pure white ABS material in 1965. "
He then talks about how he sold it to "fellow guitar collector, and Dirty Hit [1975's Label] record label owner Jamie Oborne"
And later
"I received a picture from Jamie recently of Matty Healy of The 1975 playing this exact '62 Fiesta Red Stratocaster at the Reading Festival 2022. Jamie was able to have nice refret completed and have the middle pickup rewound to original spec."
In this live performance, Matty can be seen playing a non reliced 60s strat in fiesta red, probably a touring substitute for his vintage 62 Strat.
