Serge Teyssot-Gay

Serge Teyssot-Gay (; born 16 May 1963 in Saint-Étienne, Loire) is a French musician. He was the guitarist of rock group Noir Désir until 29 November 2010. He met the other members of the band at school in Bordeaux (Lycée Saint-Genès) in the 1980s. Aside from Noir Désir, his other musical endeavours include: the trio "", which became a quintet for 6 albums and tours the guitar-oud duo with known as works with writers: music and literature (Musical readings with authors, or setting literary texts to music, live and CD books) two solo albums: "" (1996) and "" (2000)

At the beginning of his music career, he favoured the use of the Gibson Les Paul guitar. However, since the release of Noir Désir's 1996 album 666.667 Club, a custom Fender Stratocaster closely resembling the Lite Ash model has become his most frequently used guitar. His brand new one is a Meloduende model "Black Sword".
