Identify this guitar (Joe Strummer content)

Here's a Friday night riddle, pop pickers. Circa 1975, 101ers era. What is it? 

(I don't know but I have a feeling I should... looks kinda WEM-y in a way...)

The dude don't look right without a Tele!

Is the other bloke Mick? What's he playing?

It just goes to show how old I am. They were a new model when I started playing guitar in the 60s. I think that Strummer also had a Verithin at one time, when he bought them they were probably cheap old guitars that nobody really wanted, how times change.

Ah! That is a matter of conjecture. Some say it's Gordon Russell, Ram Jam Band guitarist and future Feelgood.

I had a red V3 but not sure it had a rectangular control plate like his .

I think not.

It has a Burns or Fenton-Weill look about it.
