Blockbuster has shipped RestorationIt has been on Andy's site since october... And I do remember Anndy saying in an interview "every time I pick it up I remember why it was such a great guitar October 6, 2006 Fender To Release Andy's Telecaster Filed under: News - moxsum @ 7:43 pm Limited edition release planned for 2007 Fender guitars has pain stakingly studied Andy's custom Telecaster that he used as his primary guitar with the Police. With it unique pickup configuration, hardware, electronics and maple neck, Andy's Telecaster is one of the most easily recongnizable guitars in the history of rock and roll. Fender plans to release the guitar as an aged replica down to every last scratch and wear mark. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lucky To: police@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 4:56 AM Subject: [Police] Andy Tele follow up A little more on the Tele at the HOF with Andy. I was at a book signing a couple months ago and Andy spoke about the beat up old Tele and how he still cherishes it. He spoke of it quite lovingly and he still has it so I don't think that was the issue. He seems to baby it these days is the impression I got. Not take it out so much as its worth a lot etc. In fact he said how this year Fender will be coming out with a signature series guitar replica of that Tele - even examining every detail and recreating the scratches and custom stuff in it (like the pickup configuration). He said it will be very expensive was how he put it. I may have video of that part of his speaking not sure - need to check the archives. I just googled it and it seems some articles on Fender doing this are coming out. BTW - in the book this Fender is not the guitar he and Eric sold each other - the Fender is the one he bought from a student of his in California in the 70's. It's a customized '61 Fender Tele.
