..... ala Clapton, SRV, Vai, Dimebag Darryl, etc.

I just bought an Epiphone John Lennon acoustic (it's great, BTW) and wondered if Keith or any of the others had a signature model.

If not, why not? - a Tele with the hunbucker and 5-strings would be a natural.

"No Anchovies, Please"

Duesenberg has got a RON WOOD signature model (can be seen in FOUR FLICKS)

check their website for more info

Darryl Jones Lakland Jazz Bass ;-))

Thanks, I never knew.

"No Anchovies, Please"

Though not called the Keith Richards model by name, Fender Japan has had humbucker quipped '50s style Tele available for a few years that looks very much like Micawber. I keep hoping that Gibson will either do a Keith LP Custom or Sunburst LP model and while they're at it a Sunburst Mick Taylor model would be most welcome!

didn't Keith decline to authorize a signature Tele that Fender had planned?

ESP Ronnie Wood signature Tele with a B-bender.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the Pick Ups. As we know Keith uses Gibson PAF humbuckers(real one's last time I checked were about $1200 each) in the neck position of his Tele's. I personaly don't care for the Reissued ones. I also doubt Fender would use a Gibson product in their guitars.

That sounds about right, 50.

"No Anchovies, Please"

Apperently Keith doesn't want a signature guitar. He threatened the Fender custom shop with law suits if they went on with a copy of his '53 Tele, and Duesenberg released the 49 Keith Richards model, but after a month had to withdraw any reference to Keith. Zemaitis made a copy of the five string Zemaitis, and is not allowed to mention Keith's name.

Wood has signature ESP Tele's, Gibson J200 and a Versoul model.

They woudn't have to. There are many manufacturers of humbuckers and PAF clones other than Gibson. Seymour Duncan and Dimarzzio are but two examples.

Why does Keith not want a signature guitar model?

Hi Mathijs,

what was the Duesenberg 49 Keith Richards model? Never heard of that.

Regards,
Phil

Wasn't there Keith Richards signiture strings available at one time?

Does anyone know about that?

I think I've bust a button on my trousers....

Not a signature model for obvious reasons but some years ago they released what they called the Brian Jones teardrop vox guitar in Japan.

I believe they only came with the few guitars the Fender Custom Shop made.
