"This guitar was set up by Fender as a limited edition Keith Richards Tele. The "human riff" was "not at all thrilled and forbade the action.
That this one still ended up as the No.3 Keith-Replica, is owed to Jason Allen of Virtual Vintage Guitars who handed it to ex-Fender Senior Master Builder Fred Stuart and said: do it! and Mr. Stuart, a connoisseur of Keith's '52 Telecaster, changed it to the correct relic and the right parts for a Keith-Tele
I think Keith has Sperzel tuners on his and a white switch button and of course only 5 strings ....... oh yes, his is a real '54!
This tele is very different from my other Teles, because instead of sounding "twangy" it's rather rocky and rich sounding, which is probably due to the Gotoh brass bridge.
The Keith-Tele has a fat midrange punch and in the middle position, it actually produces exactly those trade mark Keef-Chords.
I am a great Richards fan and got this exceptional guitar from my best friends and "blood brothers" as a present. In my life I will never forget this noble gesture."
