New Tele for Graham?

[DAKnox]

Looks to me like Graham has a new 72 Telecaster Custom. Does anyone know anything about it? I suspect he bought it in Hong Kong.

It seems to be the same "Blackie" 1972 Fender Telecaster Deluxe he's used always. Of course i might be wrong.

He's definitely had a custom for at least as long as Blur have been reunited.
I don't think I've seen that other sunburst tele before this tour, though.

I am not sure which guitar you guys are talking about, but he did mention in some of the interviews that he had a "new" one for the Hong Kong sessions that his guitar technician has put together for him?

That was a Strat. Possibly the black one he plays of Coffee & TV?

eh up...

that new black tele is a new keith richards type tele...not bad...but not like my old blackie from the 70s.. that guitar is a lovely beast.... the other new one is the sunburst tele that i call fortis green or ray for short....cuz its the same as one that the davies brothers used to play in the mid 60s

Do you find your 70s tele to be lighter than your newer one? I had a reissue custom tell and I eventually had to trade it coz it was breaking my back!

He's had a deluxe (2 wrhbs) for a long time but the custom (1 wrhbs 1 sc) seems very new on the block! They look very similar except the pick up configuration and the deluxe has the big strat headstock. I have a custom just like his myself. Mine is a reissue I wonder if his is an original. Looks new though. Yep he's also added a black strat recently and a sunburst tele. Bound. Looks like a 62 reissue or again maybe original! Being a guitar geek I'd like to know!
