Roger Giffin Telecaster

The Roger Giffin Telecaster was a custom-built Telecaster-style guitar made for Andy Summers by renowned luthier Roger Giffin. He used it frequently during the mid-1980s. It's also the guitar he features with in an episode of the BBC TV programme Rockschool, filmed at RAK Studios while he was there recording with The Police. So there are increased odds this guitar was also used on "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86", which utilised a different guitar sound to on the original (which Andy was never satisfied with).

The guitar was made with a single Bartolini pickup, a single volume control knob, an IVL Hexaphonic Guitar-to-MIDI pickup in the bridge (to interface with synthesizers) and a single Stratocaster-type tremolo arm.
