I am trying to figure out what telecaster Robertson is playing in these photos: (scroll all the way down to the color pic)

http://theband.hiof.no/band_pictures..._sia_1972.html

it has 8 holes in the pickguard. i want to buy a tele just like this one, and i've been looking into a '52 reissue, but the color on his is more of a solid color, while the '52 reissue photo on musiciansfriend.com is lighter and shows the wood grain (which might not look good with a white pickguard). i understand the "blonde" color has many variations.

so can anyone tell me the model, the color, and if i can buy a new one?

(i read that he had the humbucker installed, so for now we don't need to discuss that)
