Bought by Bellamy in May of 2020, the guitar is the infamous "blonde Tele", used by [[Jeff Buckley]] himself, both live and in the studio, for the "Grace" album. It's known for the custom mirror Carvin pickguard. Ever since Buckley died, the guitar was owned by his close friend until 2011, when he decided to sell it. It was acquired by a London guitar shop before it was on sale again a few years later, bought by Matthieu Lucas of Matt's Guitar Shop in Paris, which was the guitar owner until Bellamy noticed it in his shop several years before and eventually bought it. In 2019, the guitar has been used live once by Myles Kennedy in 2019, when he covered "Hallelujah" at one of his concerts. | Bought by Bellamy in May of 2020, the guitar is the infamous "blonde Tele", used by [[Jeff Buckley]] himself, both live and in the studio, for the "Grace" album.

Commenting on the sound of the guitar, Matt said “It sounds so weird - it doesn’t sound like any other Telecaster,” Bellamy continues. “I’ve had all the electronics analyzed - nobody’s changed anything - but the pickups, they think the neck pickup was a mistake by the manufacturer because for some reason it’s slightly out-of-phase, and there’s also something weird about the wiring." This prompted the team over at Manson Guitar Works to investigate the inner workings. | Commenting on the sound of the guitar, Matt said “It sounds so weird - it doesn’t sound like any other Telecaster,” Bellamy continues. “I’ve had all the electronics analyzed - nobody’s changed anything - but the pickups, they think the neck pickup was a mistake by the manufacturer because for some reason it’s slightly out-of-phase, and there’s also something weird about the wiring."

Bought by Bellamy in May of 2020, the guitar is the infamous "blonde Tele", used by Jeff Buckley himself, both live and in the studio, for the "Grace" album. It's known for the custom mirror Carvin pickguard. Ever since Buckley died, the guitar was owned by his close friend until 2011, when he decided to sell it. It was acquired by a London guitar shop before it was on sale again a few years later, bought by Matthieu Lucas of Matt's Guitar Shop in Paris, which was the guitar owner until Bellamy noticed it in his shop several years before and eventually bought it. In 2019, the guitar has been used live once by Myles Kennedy in 2019, when he covered "Hallelujah" at one of his concerts.[1]
In an interview with Guitar World, Bellamy said he plans to use it on the upcoming album, saying “I haven’t bought it to hang it on the wall with a picture of Jeff saying, ‘Look what I’ve got.’ I’ve bought it to actually attempt to use it and integrate it, and keep this guitar part of music. I’d like to believe that’s what he would have wanted.”[2]
Commenting on the sound of the guitar, Matt said “It sounds so weird - it doesn’t sound like any other Telecaster,” Bellamy continues. “I’ve had all the electronics analyzed - nobody’s changed anything - but the pickups, they think the neck pickup was a mistake by the manufacturer because for some reason it’s slightly out-of-phase, and there’s also something weird about the wiring." This prompted the team over at Manson Guitar Works to investigate the inner workings.
