Michelle Kath Sinclair, brought Terrys’ ’62 Telecaster out, for Sergey Kashirin and Leonid and Friends to see (see Channelling Terry page). Mark Webb video’d the event and provided SFTK with the vids with Thx from SFTK!
NOTE: Other than Terrys’ Telecaster which was modified with humbucker pickup from his SG, in the neck pickup position. Also, a couple of capacitors were added. The bridge plate was cut and a Stratocaster tremelo bridge was installed and, the control plate was reversed.
Note: The so-called Cartoon Strat pictured above/below, was later modifed with a humbucker in the neck position. There doesn’t seem to be any pictures of him playing it once modified.
Terry used a Stratocaster that was held together with a hose clamp on “Free Form Guitar” from the album CTA which was recorded “live to tape”
Terry first played the telecaster on stage on Aug. 28, 1972 at the Greek Theatre in L.A.
