Elton John's CD(not LP)"Here and There" has Lennon's last live performance, he plays the Tele on two or three tunes.

Does it look like (from the front picture from the R&RHOF that the body is "leaning forward" at the top. Like a Jaguar? Or is it just the camera. In another way of saying it, does it look like the heel area behind the bridge slopes to the right when looking from bottom to top? It just doesn't look like a regular Tele. And I am looking at mine right now to compare.

Looks like a bog standard Tele body to me, Scoob.

That one pic shows a capo slapped on the 7th fret. Do you suppose he's playing "If I Needed Someone"?

Noel, I guess so. In ever picture it looks normal except the one from the Rock and Roll of Hall fame. To me that one looks weird. I guess maybe it was just the camera angle or something.
