In this episode, I discussed the newly released demo version of The Police's classic hit, "Every Breath You Take." Interestingly, the demo lacks any guitar, highlighting how Andy Summers' iconic guitar part was instrumental in propelling the song to the number one spot.

The Police are set to release a 6CD super deluxe edition of their acclaimed 1983 album, Synchronicity. This extensive reissue includes a wealth of previously unheard alternate takes, outtakes, and demos.

Andy Summers’ heavily modified Telecaster, a cornerstone of The Police’s early sound, remains a mystery. In 1972, while teaching in California, Summers bought the guitar from a student. Already well-worn, it featured a humbucker in the neck, a phase switch, and an active boost controlled by a third knob. Though Summers only recalls adding Schaller tuners, much of the guitar’s history is uncertain. While Summers identifies it as a 1961 model, others suggest it could be a 1963 Telecaster Custom, possibly with a 1950s neck given its maple fretboard, though this is debated.

The Telecaster became central to The Police's unique sound, but it wasn’t until 2006 that Fender decided to reproduce it. Summers had originally approached Fender about building a Strat with a Steinberger TransTrem, but the guitar giant received so many requests for his Telecaster that they instead launched a limited run of 250 Tribute models in 2007, priced at £9,399. The release coincided with The Police’s reunion and Summers’ autobiography One Train Later. One of the Tribute models recently resurfaced for sale at nearly double its original price.

To create the Tribute series, Fender’s master builder Dennis Galuszka closely examined Summers’ original guitar. Despite this, the guitar’s true origins remained elusive. No identifying dates were found on the neck or body, and Galuszka speculated that the neck might be from a 1950s Telecaster, based on remnants of white blonde paint. The body had been routed so heavily that no original markings were left. While adding a Gibson humbucker and phase switch was a common mod at the time, the brass bridge and active boost circuit were more unusual.

The guitar’s secret weapon was its active boost, controlled by a mini-toggle switch near the bridge. Yet the person who installed these mods remains unknown. Despite The Police’s massive success, no one has come forward to claim credit for the modifications. Summers, too, has never revealed the name of the student who sold him the guitar.

Summers (or someone else) continued modifying the guitar after purchasing it. In a 1978 performance, the Tele still had its original three-saddle bridge, but by late that year, Summers had replaced it with a six-saddle bridge. The bridge pickup was also direct-mounted to the body, likely due to routing required for the brass bridge plate. Photos show a crack in the plate between the pickup and control plate, which Summers left unaddressed.

The guitar’s pickups also remain a puzzle. Fender’s team found that a Seymour Duncan ’59 humbucker closely resembled the neck pickup, while the bridge pickup seemed custom-made. The active boost circuit, added before Summers bought the guitar in 1972, required routing to fit a nine-volt battery, which was uncommon for the early ’70s. The Tribute model replicated this feature using a modified Eric Clapton mid-boost circuit since the original was no longer functional.

Despite its iconic status, the Telecaster has only been reproduced in limited numbers. Guitars with humbuckers or phase switches are common, but the active boost remains rare due to the substantial modifications needed to fit it into a Telecaster’s small control cavity. It’s intriguing that, for such a well-known instrument, no mass-market model has ever been made, and that the person responsible for its groundbreaking mods remains anonymous.

Summers’ heavily modified Telecaster played a vital role in shaping the sound of The Police and became one of the most unique instruments in rock history. It’s remarkable that such an influential guitar was modded by an unknown individual whose work helped define a band that sold millions of records. Hopefully, one day, the person responsible for these now-legendary modifications will get the credit they deserve.

Andy Summers is an English guitarist, songwriter, and composer best known as a member of the iconic rock band The Police. Born on December 31, 1942, in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, Summers began his musical career in the 1960s, playing with acts like Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band and the Soft Machine before joining The Police in 1977.

With his sophisticated use of guitar effects, including delay, chorus, and reverb, Summers created the atmospheric and distinctive sound that became a hallmark of The Police’s hits, such as “Message in a Bottle,” “Every Breath You Take,” and “Roxanne.” His fusion of jazz, rock, and reggae influences set him apart as a highly innovative guitarist.

Beyond The Police, Summers has had a successful solo career, releasing numerous albums that explore jazz, ambient, and world music. He’s also a noted photographer and author, with his autobiography, One Train Later, offering a candid look at his life and career. Summers’ unique style and contributions to guitar playing have solidified his legacy as one of rock music’s most influential guitarists.

In the early ‘80s, The Police guitarist Andy Summers and King Crimson mastermind Robert Fripp formed an unexpected partnership—blending avant-garde progressive rock with stadium-ready new wave. Despite their vastly different styles, the duo released I Advance Masked (1982) and Bewitched (1984), crafting intricate soundscapes that pushed musical boundaries.

Surprisingly, Summers wasn’t even a King Crimson fan when they first collaborated. In a recent Guitarist interview, he revealed that he and Fripp had a “cosmic connection” dating back to their teenage years in England. Their journey—from crossing paths in local music scenes to creating two groundbreaking albums—remains one of rock’s most fascinating stories.

Now, previously unheard recordings from their sessions have surfaced in Mother Hold the Candle Steady, part of the Complete Recordings reissue. Summers admits he was “knocked out” revisiting these lost tracks, questioning why they were left behind in the first place.

In this video, we explore how this unique collaboration came to life, why it still resonates, and how their experimental approach influenced generations of guitarists. Plus, we dive into the latest discussions surrounding Fripp, King Crimson, and the ongoing legacy of progressive rock.

Walking On The Moon - Cover 2025 Made In The Hutch*
As made famous by The Police / Sting. Originally released in 1979 as a follow-up to "Message In A Bottle" and taken from their Album "Reggatta de Blanc". Walking on the Moon has a sparse spacious feel, centred around a simple bass riff, reggae style percussion and plenty of guitar FXs. Of course, Sting's catchy and repetitive lyrics helps this be an easy sing along track. 

This is very interesting sonically and shows off what can be done with a minimal of instruments as a 3-piece band. Stewart's drums are always interesting as he mixes up the patterns interspersed with triplets and off-beat accent's and dowsed in reverb lends itself to dub reggae. 

I have added more sonic textures but mainly stayed true to the original sounds and structure. I hope it pleases the ears... LIKE or COMMENT please. I'd love to know what you think.

TECH*
This cover is NOT monetised or for any commercial use. I created this as a fan as musical tribute to a great band. 
DAW: Ableton Live 12~
GEAR: AKAI Keys, Native Instruments Audio 6 & VSTs, Vital Synth, UJAM BeatMaker,
