I believe he was the guitarist for the late 80's band Southgang. Tug of War was my favorite song from them.

Among the most innovative guitarists: butch and Ryan

[@Jotapecaster]

Anyone know the exact model Of that Telecaster? PLEASE

[@shadyh77]

Jean-Pierre Garcia all I know it’s 60s Tele.
The original series 60s model is identical to this one little modern changes, like the fretboard radius. If anyone has more accurate information please let me know.
