Glad to see that Keith has been using my fave guitar, the Ampeg Dan Armstrong again, in recent years.

wow cool thats an old one! Mines 2007 CIJ...The neck is really nice, U shaped but a tad on the thin side (the bane of all MIJ/CIJ)

It's pretty cool that they kept that guy on considering he started out as a keyboard tech and technology kind of passed him by.

Whoa... two posts up ^^^ what's that low E string doing on there??!?

Yep. I was reading about him last year. Seems he benefited in the long run by successfully adapting and learning quickly when he wasn't expected to.

Otay. Now where the hell are the pictures of Keef's 3000+ guitars he allegedly has stashed in a warehouse?

just the neck is Keef, the body is a 72RI...besides I cant hang with just 5 strings thats wack.

No mention of his Music Man Silhouette. I have heard him give it high praise in a few interviews. Said he thinks they are one of the better modern guitars on the market.

Nice guitars, for sure! But what I really want to know is how does Keith get that healthy glow to his skin?

Notice the modern saddles and bridge? For open tunings best to use the saddles instead of the vintage kind shown in the photo due to intonation.

 

and the low E string should come off if you are going to play stones stuff.

 

I have a 2nd 52 tele reissue I bought from my boss. he changed the wiring to modern and put the saddles in w/the bridge. unfortunately when he did this he lost his original bridge and saddles so unless I pull the neck off I don't have the serial number.

 

It's my bastard 52. I also have a bastard nocaster w/o the COA. My bastard 52 is also fairly heavy for a tele while my standard tuning 52 is light.

Great read and really insightful, I am halfway threw Keiths bio -Life and recommend it for anyone even if you are not even a big Stones fan but just a fan of the whole early music scene. Keith goes into a hell of a lot of guitar info, more than any guitarists bio I have read and I have read a lot.

[HeatherAnnePeel]

I love it! A great addition, and a wonderful tone.

I like how in the photos of Keith, he doesn't look any younger 10 or 15 years ago...he's like a tree, just got to a certain point and stopped.

What a great read. Thanks

[Bluesidae]

[jimtalkbox]
