Fernandes Telecaster ex-Robin Le Mesurier - "The Revival"
Sold
Robin Le Mesurier's guitar collection illustrates his particular attraction to Fender guitars. Alongside the signature Stratocaster models, the guitarist has also played models inspired by the brand. This Fernandes Thinline Telecaster "The Revival" is a fine example that Le Mesurier has used many times on stage.
This guitar is a Fernandes Thinline Telecaster semi-hollow body from the 1980s. Presented in a natural finish, it features a large sound hole and a white Perloid pickguard (white plastic material designed to imitate mother of pearl). This guitar has a classic Telecaster headstock, while other examples have a Fernandes headstock. This Fernandes has the inscription "The Revival" on the headstock, below the Fernandes logo. The natural finish shows the wood grain, giving the guitar a great look.

With his legendary English discretion and elegance, Robin Le Mesurier firmly established himself as the rhythmic pillar of Johnny Hallyday and Rod Stewart. Talented musician in the shadow of illustrious names, he built unifying anthems and he sporadically took the spotlight when he was presented on stage by his companions.
In 2000, he was the one who started the unleashed notes of Allumez le feu at the Champ de Mars in front of more than 500,000 people. All over these years, he was also the one who initiated the first notes of the ballads during the Taulier's concerts on his acoustic guitar - like a welcome break between a few riffs of pure rock and roll.
Robin Le Mesurier was Johnny Hallyday's most faithful sidekick. He became the right-hand man and the sincere friend of the singer in 1994. During all these years, it is more than 20 years of passionate collaboration which let millions of people enjoy the touch of the guitarist all over Europe.
Recognized and solicited for his British phlegm and for his precise and applied touch, Robin Le Mesurier was appreciated by his peers. Friend of the greatest, he had played with Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones and with Rod Stewart with whom he worked for a long time in the mid-1980s. It is not less than four albums they created together. Through this collaboration, his compositions made him known throughout the world and made him a guitarist in great demand.
In 1994, his fruitful partnership with Johnny Hallyday began on the album Rough Town, for which he composed two tracks. From then on, Le Mesurier became the official musician of the famous singer. For twenty-three years, he was on all his tours and shows. He accompanied him until his death, playing in the Madeleine Church in Paris in December 2017 for his funeral. Their complicity and unfailing friendship was palpable every night on stage, especially when the time was come for Johnny Hallyday to introduce his musicians, including his "fidèle ami" Robin loyally placed at his right.
Robin Le Mesurier shared the same dreams of America Johnny Hallyday had. A few weeks before his death, he was still promoting the documentary on the last American tour of the Taulier at his home, in Los Angeles, where he died peacefully in December 2021.
