And i know that her black Tele's are tuned to drop D. Based on all the songs she uses it for. How did you find out about the year models of the Tele's...? Was there an article about it somewhere? To me they look like they are relatively recent, unless they are superbly looked after guitars which seems odd for people who tour so extensively.
Her 1968 black Telecaster was usually in standard tuning. I’m only aware of it being used in drop D for certain songs during the Uh Huh Her and White Chalk tours. Don’t know the date of the Tele with the non-Tele-style bridge saddles. And one of them was John Parish’s, I believe, but then he gave it to her. She also used a white Tele as a backup onstage in 1991-92 but I haven’t come across it in subsequent years.
I’d be most interested in figuring out which amps she was using in the 90s. I’m a bit bummed she hasn’t used Marshalls since then; I’ve only seen her with Vox and Orange this century.
