"Yeah. I was playing a Telecaster in 1980; it got stolen out of my house. And there was a little music store in town called Chick Piano; they had a blond Rickenbacker 360 with flat-wound strings. That was my main guitar until 1981, when it got stolen.

I went to a shop in Hartford, Conn. a...

Peter Buck's workhorse amp—his Fender Twin—was broken at the time, so Easter loaned him his checkerboard-grill Ampeg Gemini II ...

"Tone first of all. I don't use them the same way most people use them: as a solo instrument. I tend to be more chord oriented. But those pickups have a nice, warm, chordal feeling. You can get all the harmonics and stuff out without being too overdriven. And I just like thinking about whoever ow...

Peter can be seen using a Standard Telcaster in this photo.

Pete owned at least two of these in R.E.M.'s early career. Rare photos from 1980 show him with a tobacco sunburst finish Tele Deluxe, while the attached photo shows him with one in black finish from their Reconstruction tour stop at University of Georgia, which he purchased as early as 1984 accor...

This image was from a concert in Austin, TX.

Used this on late 85 tour of Europe, not seen in USA. I asked Mike Mills on Twitter and I think it is his.

After having his Telecaster stolen in around late 1980/early 1981, Pete purchased this as a replacement in Mapleglo finish at Chick Piano in Athens, GA. The only photo/video evidence before it too was stolen is R.E.M.'s 688 Club performance on February 20th, 1981. It appears that his Accent Vibra...
