2 significant Keith’s Telecasters

 

The first one, 1953 Fender Keith Richards Tele – Micawber (Keith’s main guitar)

 

This particular fifty three telecaster is called Micawber, which is probably the most generally utilized guitar of Keith Richards and was restructured from a 1953 Fender Telecaster. Creamy body, black pickguard, which were strictly completed by our luthiers. Micawber is said for being named following a figure Wilkins Micawber in Dickens book David Copperfield, however the precise cause is not known. Totally different from other Telecaster, Micawber had dual-coil pick-ups in neck (Naturally, our replicas also provide dual-coil pick-ups mounted on the neck).

 

In the Exile On Main St. period of time, Keith Richards began to utilize this Keith Richards Tele instrument. When utilizing this particular electric guitar, Keith normally tuned in Open G (DGDGBD) and took off the 6th string (we didn't get rid of the sixth string, since not all electric guitar lovers can approve that; furthermore, it is very simple for users to remove it by themselves). You can state that Keiths distinctive guitar style is inextricably associated using this adjusting strategy.

Certainly, this guitar is Keith Richards favorite one, even though he has got other teles, Micawber had constantly been his favorite devices in both his tourings and recordings. The subsequent article described the adjustment and affect Keith took to this particular instrument. One of Fenders custom shop ever before cloned twenty Micawber guitars, but afterwards ceased for Keiths intervention.

 

The bridge and tuners had been changed. The bridge was substituted with brass bridge. Upon our products we did the same substitute with brass bridge. The pick-ups in neck is Gibson PAF dual-coil pick-ups, the pickups in bridge is initial tele pick-ups. We also purchased Gibson and Fender pickups for our buyers, however the default pickups integrated in the cost lists is Wilkinson pickups, which is cheaper, quality reliable and may conserve a lot of expenses for you.

This version, known as Sonny by Keith, was really a 1966 Fender telecaster. Johnny Starbuck said that it had been known as sonny simply because of its sunburst finish, in reality it ought to be called sunny and not. This electric guitar was tuned to open G.

     

Maple neck, maple fingerboard, ash body, 3-tone sunburst finish, crystal clear texture within the body, solitary coating black colored pickguard, brass terminal board, taken off 6th string (B, F#, B, D#, F#).

 

Based on the previously mentioned characteristics, we exactingly duplicated this instrument, Maple neck, maple fingerboard, ash body, 3-tone sunburst finish, single layer black color pickguard, brass terminal panel. The only real difference is probably that we did not get rid of the sixth string!! Likewise we also obtained Gibson and Fender pick-ups, but the default pickups in the cost list is Wilkinson pickups, which is more cost-effective, quality dependable and will conserve you lots of funds.
