I love Ry Cooder - shame we don't see him play more often.

unusual pick up combination - but no complaint on the tone he gets - simple and effective blues playing

What pickups does he have in the bridge and middle?  Are they Mustang Pickups? 

Yeah I love Ry Cooder as well.

Freakin' baritone Tele with a capo and a B-bender, that's some cool shit.

From their positioning and size, I'm guessing the two pickups in bridge and middle positions add up to a Fender Stringmaster steel guitar arrangement, probably with a blend knob somewhere, while the neck pickup looks a lot like the ones you'll find on 1960s Fender 1000 pedal steel guitars. So it's a kind of extension of his old Oahu lap steel pickup/Strat thinking.
