Fender American Telecaster Black "Sendero Luminoso"
Fender · electric guitar
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.
