This black Fender American Telecaster, marked Sendero Luminoso, is associated in this catalogue with Tom Morello, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, whose guitars carry political stencilled slogans reflecting his activism. Sendero Luminoso, Spanish for Shining Path, refers to the Peruvian Maoist guerrilla organisation, and its presence as a marking on this guitar is consistent with the provocative political messaging Morello has stencilled onto his instruments throughout his career, though the specific guitar and slogan combination is not independently documented in detail here.
The Gibson ES-335 Dot is a semi-hollow electric guitar featuring Gibson's classic double-cutaway design with a solid maple center block running through the body, combining the resonance of a hollow-body with the feedback resistance and sustain of a solid-body instrument. Named for its simple dot fingerboard inlays (distinguishing it from fancier ES-335 variants), it delivers the warm, articulate tone that made the platform a defining instrument in blues, jazz, and rock since its 1958 introduction.
