[QUOTE="MadDogs, post: 2961006, member: 11175"] Yes ... one of the Teles (the one he calls Micawber) that has five strings. He probably has a boat load more. Which you are right, in open G one doesn't need the low E tuned to D. I tried that on one of my Teles and it just didn't feel right to me. He had a great quote about his playing ... something to the effect that if you want to play like him, all you need is five strings, a thumb and an ____hole. I have heard versions of him saying similar like, "five strings, three chords and the body part". Watched a BBC special some years ago with Keith talking about his playing. He had a nylon string acoustic across his knee and just ripped into something Carlos Montoya would have done. His reply was something like, "It's just a guitar, mate." First concert I ever saw was the Rolling Stones at the Long Beach Arena in (I think) '72. Keith Richards and Mick Taylor ... they sure hooked me. [/QUOTE]
