To me, it looked like a 62 American Vintage Tele in the Surf Green color, but without the ashtray bridge cover.

It's custom made - not anything off the shelf.

Like his Rickenbacker's......

F hole...hums....LOL! He must have every Rick 360 combo made...Hums with radiatior hums, open, button.....

I don't like them to play...strange layout with the open distence from the PUs to the strings. Definitely unique sound.

It looked like an American Vintage '62 Reissue, but I would guess he only plays Custom Shop models.

The vox amps were a nice touch.

I didn't see any body binding and also I did not see a CS logo on the back of the headstock. Bet is was either custom made or vintage.

Tom was frequently spotted jamming with offset Fenders such as Bass VI and Electric XII.
