Fender Telecaster TPP "Keith Richards" Tribute SH 2017 - Butterscotch Blonde

A secondhand Fender USA Telecaster customised to Keith Richards "Micawbr" specs by UK luthiers The Painted Player.
 
A crucial member of The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards has embodied relentless energy and stunning riffs for decades and his principle player, a battered Fender Telecaster known as "Micawber", has always been by his side.  Produced using an original 50's Telecaster, Keith decided to modify the guitar to his own unique specs and fitted a contemporary brass bridge featuring only 5 saddles (Keith always tuned the guitar to open 'G'), a Gibson Humbucker in the neck position, tightly snugged-up against the neck (more so than a common neck humbucker) along with Sperzel replacement headstock tuners.  The definition of 'road-worn' and a real fan-favourite, "Micawber" is THE Telecaster...
 
The best of the best, Fender’s iconic stalwart, brought together by highly detailed relic work and customised equipment, this offers the closest representation of the original “Micawber” Telecaster as well as effortless performance and timeless style.  Available in your choice of original 3-way switching or "Micawber" modified Broadcaster wiring with blend control - and your choice of traditional 6-saddle standard tuning or 5-saddle 'Open G' tuning set-up absolutely free!  Includes complimentary Hardcase.
