While known for favoring Jazzmasters
for his multi-genre guitar work, Wilco
lead guitarist Nels Cline takes a number of models on tour. Shown with
a German-made, ’60s Hopf Telstar
Standard—one of his “ugly duckling”

a handful of Wilco tunes for the bizarre
nasal tones it can produce, as well as
the sounds he can achieve when playing behind the bridge. For an in-depth
look at Cline’s setup, check out the Rig
