Keith had two Dan Armstrongs. One in standard tuning, and another one in open G tuning (the one he played Brown Sugar with in 1971).
He did play one on the ABB-tour, methinks, but that was most probably a replica.

I don't remember him playing the Dan Armstrong but he did play the 5-string Newman guitar on "Sway" in Glasgow in 2006

What happened to to the Ya Ya's SG? Might have even been called a Les Paul at the time.

Taylor sold both his 1958 and 1959 Les Paul guitars used with the Stones in 1982/1983 to a London shop, for 5000 pounds each. Both guitars were then bought by musicians, not collectors. The 1958 ended up with the Hardrock Cafe, and the 1959 (with the stripe between the pickups, now called the ' Exile Burst') still is in the hands of the musician, who takes it to guitar exhibitions and conferences for anyone to look at and play it.

5000 pounds each is peanuts for a Rolling Stones' guitarist who was still a big name at the time.

Macabre 2 by Zemaitis.
This one is definitely not made by Tony Zemaitis.
Tony made only two Macabre.
One owned by Keith, which got stolen or disapeared somehow and a second one with the exact same specs which is now in the hands of a private owner.

Just about all guitars they played from 1968 on have resurfaced one way or another -at the Hardrock, with collectors, in the collection of the Stones. The main guitars missing are Keith's 1969 Dan Armstrong and Ron Wood's 1972/1973 Metal Top Zemaitis stolen on the Bahama's in 1977. Keith's 5-string Pirate Zemaitis guitar was destroyed in the LA rental house fire in late 1978.

That was the going rate for 1950's Les Paul's at the time. Taylor was broke, didn't have a contract with a record company, and had sold his royalties back to the Stones in 1981. He needed money to relocate to New York and tour the USA with Alvin Lee and Bob Dylan.

Do you know what happened to the white Music Man Silhouette that Keith played from 1988 to 1990?
Because in 1992/93 he played a black one?

Tony Zemaitis made at least three Macabre's: Keith's original, one exacxt copy for Zemaitis collector Kurt Scheidegger in 1981, and a 1990's six-string version, also for Kurt Scheidegger.
The 1981 copy has sold for 80K US$ some years ago. Noteworthy is that it isn't a 100% copy of the original as the body is about a centimeter thicker and has a more shallow taper of the front horn.
After Zemaitis death he sold his drawings to the Japanese Zemaitis company, and they made more copies of the orginal, but they do vary a bit from the original.

Would love to see the DA show up one day...I'm guessing serial numbers are unknown?
