We at TommyGuitars are proud to find this rare Fender Japan Telecaster ‘52 tribute model of Keith Richards’s guitar - Malcolm.
You can hear the guitar on Happy, Jumping Jack Flash, Tumbling Dice , and countless others. This guitar is in very good condition, with minimal fret wear. Keith usually keeps this guitar tuned in open B. This is a beautifully grained select swamp ash body guitar in a Vintage Blonde finish. It sounds glorious.
Like Keith's, this guitar features a (Duncan 59 neck) humbucker installed reverse in the neck position, 6 saddle bridge (which Keith uses to accommodate a dislodged 6th string), ‘62 style flattop chrome knobs, and white Stratocaster pickup selector switch tip. All original specs are detailed, including neck shape, fingerboard radius, hardware, pickups and electronics.
