Fender Telecaster (red)

Peter Gabriel has a Fender Telecaster electric guitar (finished in red - originally natural finish) at Real World Studios, which was left behind by Daniel Lanois after recording the Us album in 1992.

Peter Gabriel later experimented with the Telecaster on the Up album, generating odd noises with it on certain songs (as he isn't a guitar player). On "More Than This", he sampled the guitar and played it on a Kurzweil keyboard.

Quotes on the Telecaster
"'This came right at the end from a thing I started with guitar samples. I was mucking around with guitars and Daniel Lanois had left his beautiful Telecaster. I can't play guitar to save my life, but I can make noises on it. The first sound that you hear on this track is me manipulating my guitar samples on the keyboard. I'd always liked it, and I was driving through the Italian Alps and found this old cassette which had this stuff and I'd been playing around with a different groove, and it started to make sense to me at that point.'"
