Thats Russell Lissack of my favorite band Bloc Party.
In this show @ De La Sema he uses a Telecaster I've never seen before, and I haven't seen it since.
Has anybody seen that kind of Telecaster?
What kind is it?

So.. is Russell the singer or the guy with the blue Tele?

Pics maybe it easier to guess, they just move too much on the videos. Though I can tell that I haven't seen a Tele with that "blue sunburst" finish before. Maybe it was custom painted for him?

It is called "BlueBurst". it has been used several times before, mostly on the
Strat Plus series. Never seen it on a tele. most likely a 1-off, in this case. Bluebursts usually have the grain showing through on them. this is more like the burst on the Gibson SG Goddess:

Not sure which model, maybe a CS? No help in this interview, but
a good read anyway :

Yeah, his "blueburst" is different, like the SG Goddess, it's white in the center, then light blue to dark blue on the edges. The old Fender blueburst is transparent blue in the center and dark blue on the edges, brings me memories of the Bonnie Raitt signature Strat model.

At least, some of the features (kind of bridge, 22-frets) seem closer to the American Telecasters.

Ahh another Bloc Party fan!!!

I'm pretty sure that the guys at the Bloc Party forums have surmised that it is a custom shop guitar.
