 Barrett 's free @-@ form sequences of " sonic carpets " pioneered a new way to play the rock guitar . He played several different guitars during his tenure , including an old Harmony hollowbody electric , a Harmony acoustic , a Fender acoustic , a single @-@ coil Danelectro 59 DC , several different Fender Telecasters and a white Fender Stratocaster in late 1967 . A silver Fender Esquire with mirrored discs glued to the body was the guitar he was most often associated with and the guitar he " felt most close to . "
