Now, I'm not discounting the fact that Mick's a moron, and I'm not discounting the fact that I'm a moron....

I'm at work now, so I can't pull out my copy of Mick's book, but I would guess that Strat is actually correct(against Mick's book), because I don't recall ever seeing a pic of Lindsey with a Tele.

Yep...TELE it is. There's a video (Japan?) early on around '75, where Lindsey plays a blonde/maple neck Tele through most of the set (only playing the white Les Paul Custom on a couple of numbers) Even later on, he'd play a Tele on "Monday Morning" (which opened the set for a while), then switch out to the Les Paul Custom after that. He played a Strat mainly only on "Over My Head" during those first couple of years in the band.
