... did i hear someone say "it seems Keith was doing some PR for Gibson circa 75"??
here's a shot from the Gibson Archives of Keith & Ronnie's 1975 visit to the Gibson plant:

i also found an article where someone says it looks like a Les Paul 55 that Keith's holding there, while Ronnie seems to have an L6S.
the article also mentions that in 1989 Gibson presented Ronnie with a black custom L5S with a single humbucker that he was still using in 97, and that
"in the book Gibson Guitars: 100 Years of an American Icon, there's a picture of Keith with the same guitar.
A query to Gypsy Carnes, who worked in Entertainment Relations at the time, revealed that Gibson actually made two identical L-5S guitars for the Stones."
does anyone happen to have any photos of those? and/or know what they used them for?

some web findings - I don't know if it's for real and where it's at.
maybe Hard Rock Cafe or Stikkyfingers?

moving right along ... what has Keith got here?
and did he ever use it for anything outside of the Respectable promo?

This is a 63 MM, not with an added humbucker, (with respect Mat). Look closely, and you'll see it's a standard dual-pickup MM with two sgl.-coils. The single cut version was still i production in 2007, but the dual pickup conversion is today discontinued.
You are right, I stand corrected! I have had a poster taken during this clip hanging on the walls of my room was I was young (in '53), and ever since I thought it was a humbucker!
Thanks for pointing out.
