Tommy Tedesco

According to an article by Michael Leonard on Guitar.com, Tommy Tedesco's main recording guitar is a Fender Telecaster. The article specifies, "Tele experts generally agree Tedesco’s is a pre-‘L’ series ‘slab board’ Tele, given it has the less translucent blonde finish, while the wide-distance 12th-fret dots make it no later than mid-63. It’s all pretty standard, but this workhorse is battered and scratched to death. Tedesco was a heavy smoker and used to stub out butts on the body between takes."
