Not actually one that belonged to Keith Richards, but identical to it.

Interestingly, it's both vintage (pre-1980) and made in 1981. There's those mind-altering substances for you.

And there's 12% off - bargain. If it wasn't so fugly.

Keef wouldn't be able to tell them apart? I can't understand it. How could that be??

Still, if that means he couldn't tell how ugly it was, who am I to judge?

God, that's horrific, surprised Tony Z put his name to anything that shonky-looking. I suppose he just made what the customer asked for though.

Apart from the ridiculous inlays that guitar looks like one of Zematis' £200 student models.

The original destroyed in a fire? Covered itself in petrol buddhist monk style more like.

Only just twigged that the hideous Keef guitar's a 5-string. Strange.

Keef tended to remove the low E string and play them as a five string guitar, he did it with the famous Micawber Telelcaster if you google images of it

It's because he learnt on a guitar that was missing a string.
