Hide incorrect submissions

In a rig tour featured on BBC Radio 1, Max Helyer confirms using a Fender 1977 HH Telecaster, stating,

This is the main guitar I'm using throughout the set. It's a '77 model - an original - and it feels like it's had some years played through it. It plays great, particularly for what I'm playing now, which is a lot more picky parts, with a bit more twang. I'm using this guitar on 'Stay With Me,' 'Loverboy,' 'Underdog'... I have, like, an 11-song run.
