Keith Richards Tribute Historic

guitarmandp · 10-22-09, 11:21 AM

My local Gibson dealer told me that he's gotten word that next year they are planning to announce another Jimmy Page as well as a Keith Richards model. Should be interesting.

I wouldn't mind them doing a Keith Richards 355 actually but I'm sure the historic would be the more popular one.

Thankyou for the advance warning, Guitarmandp! I can start saving now!!!
A Keith Richards Historic would be unbelievably cool. I like all of the Les Pauls I have seen him with, and as he was the one who came up with the notion of reliced guitars in the first place I would imagine it is going to look very nice indeed... !

Cheers, my man!

That looks like the wrong style bridge for a '50's Tele... looks like what comes on the cheaper models.

I had heard that Gibson was making a Jimi Hendrix Strat. Now they are making a Keith Richards Tele?!?! The world is going to Hell!

Seriously, I don't know much about Teles, but as I understand it Fender could not get Keef to do an endorsement, so they made a guitar just like his but did not use his name in the marketing.

Headcase · 10-22-09, 11:02 PM

That's a smokin' Tele!

How about his "Painted Custom"?
Hand painted... aged...?

guitarmandp · 10-22-09, 11:49 PM

What's up with the Tele picture? They are doing a guitar based on his burst with the bigsby.

Phil 52 · 10-23-09, 04:56 AM

They will sell it as a kit I heard.

Texas Blues · 10-23-09, 06:54 AM

That's an awesome top!

plexi69 · 10-25-09, 11:14 AM

I wonder what kind of "case goodies" it will come with???

Is this for sure? Kind of disappointing if it is. Yet another off the shelf Historic, just with a Bigsby thrown on it that they will over charge for. I would much rather see the hand painted black Custom.

Been done already, in 1991.

Also, too many strings to be a Keef model...

Really? Can you ask for more details? I hope they would do the '59 LP Custom!

Here's the new Keef Sig.

Dang, I want one now! Any word on if it will be aged? What kind of case candy would come with that bad boy, a polka dot bow tie?

Heroin?

I seem to recall Keith playing an LP with black plastic in the old days. What was that?

Curious, would you be wanting it with his "artwork" on it?
