Keith richards

question pour le doc ,pour la rythimique l'open ca aide mais pour les solis comment tu gere???????????,

one of the legends of the Fender Custom Shop, rumours abound on these guitars (were they ever made at all?, if so how many?), this one certainly exists, it is number 1 of 20 that were intended to be built, nowhere that number ever made it, i've seen another one but without the Keith Richards serial number, however you want to view it this is a very rare guitar , comes with originla hardshell case, certicicate with corresponding SN, Ernie Ball Keith Richards signature 5 string sets & one of Keiths crushed pearl guitar picks

this is the story that i know, i also discussed the guitar at length with Mike Eldred (then manager of the custom shop & also the guy who signed the certificate),Mike was running the Fender booth at the Las Vegas vintage guitar show in August 2002, he became really quite nervous about the guitars presence, he asked me if the guitar was visible on my website, i said "not yet", clearly, the guitar was not supposed to be on the open market & it was confirmed that the projected 20 guitars that were to be built for the Japanses distributor were cancelled somehere along the line (this leaves the question of how many made it out the door)

Pierre (Keiths tech) had brought the guitar in for remdial work, whilst at the custom shop Fender took the opportunity to copy the guitars wear pattern with the intention of a relic clone copy, Pierre & Fender both believed that KR was cool with the whole thing but apparantly he was far from it, pretty incensed according to Eldred, production ceased

so here you have it serial number 1 of who knows how many 3,4 ?,in great (distressed) condition, it has not really been played, i've owned it since 2002 & it's only ever been in its case & to a guitar show or two to exhibit, zero fret wear, zero issues, a pretty cool tele all in all, it is strung as a six right now & obviously doesn't have the sperzel tuners (never fitted, left the factory without them), even so,its as close as you're going to get

Pour moi KR c'est vraiment pas un reference, juste le gratteux des Stones, mais il joue bien...quand meme. Ah ah ah!!!

C'est un Rockeur pas un musicien de Studio.....

C'est un rocker ... ET un musicien de studio. Tous les producteurs/ingés du son insistent toujours sur le fait que c'est de loin Keith le plus passionné et appliqué en studio, capable de passer des jours et des nuits sur un seul riff jusqu'à ce qu'il sonne comme il le veut. On ne devient pas "Mr riff" ou "The Human Riff" par hasard .

mais j'aime bien nuancer, toujours... m'en veuillez pas!

Y'a pas à t'en vouloir, ce sont aussi des aspects connus de sa personnalité - ce n'est pas mère thérésa, loin de là, et gare au gêneur, Keith ne fera pas de cadeau. Ceci dit, c'est sans doute indispensable face à un égo comme celui de Mick, et ce n'est définitivement pas un hasard s'il est le seul à avoir réussi à lui tenir tête au point de se faire accepter comme égal. Keith a une volonté de fer, un entêtement de Lemming et un manque flagrant de scrupule.
mais c'est aussi pour ça qu'on l'aime, et ce n'est pas pour rien que Depp l'a carrément décalqué avec le personnage de Jack Sparrow, aussi obsédé et dépourvu de scrupule, voire amoral, que son modèle.
