As far as I know, the first telecaster that Keith owed is the famous Macawber, a gift from Gram Parsosns in the summer of 1971. He did not play a telecaster when the Sones played HTW in several TV Shows in 1969, nor did he at the Hyde Park Show and the US Tour 1969. So I think it is a Gibson.
Kewith once also said that he uses Telecasters on GYYO, which is not true also.
Some memories are really slipping away ;-)

But Brian had a Telecaster already in the early 60s,
so he could have played one anytime without actually owning one.

His telecaster had 6 strings at the time, but it would have been in standard tuning
I guess, so that's only logical, I suppose.

I strongly doubt it had 6 strings when he recorded HTW.

Actually I meant at the time they did the shoot for the 2000 light years promo, in
which we can see the telecaster in a very close up.

What 5-stringer, though, Dande dear? The LP? and/or the DA?
On the 1969 Sullivan performance Keith has a string dangling off his DA the whole time :E

Open G.
That's a busted string on ES, isn't it?

Same version, same horns, but with different lead vocals as well as with the sailors in Paris-verse. No guitar solo yet, though

Thanks. I messed up there, but did actually know that, he he.

Dande dear, that first shot isn't pre-Hyde Park - it's from their pre-tour rehearsals in California.
