What guitar/PUPs is this?

There's something about this tone that I can't put my finger on.

Tele, maybe, but is it light strings? Lipstick PUP's? Just something a little different that I can't recall hearing before.

It's the lead that starts at 1:55. Anyone have any ideas?

Doesn't sound like an old vintage Tele bridge PUP.  He also is not playing over the bridge as I hear a lot of palm muting.  I might try a late 60's single coil thinline and it sounds like he is choking the pick almost to the point of pinching.


I would use a thinline on the bridge and heavy jazz pick with the tone rolled back just a touch.  Sort of like Vince Gill did here:

Finally got a chance to listen to it, I Love it! Vince Gill is 1 of my all time fav's!

Love the pedal steel.

Thanks Ed for the info and the clip.
