I've seen Keith Richards playing an old Guild guitar on the Bigger Bang tour, usually on "Wild Horses" (sorry, I couldn't find an online picture but I'm sure the Rolling Stones fans here will know what I'm talking about :) ).

Does anyone actually know the exact model that guitar is? Does Guild still make it?
Thanks!

Got some screenshots from the DVD, looks like a 12-string:

It's a 2006 Guild 10-string.

Wow. I wasn't aware Guild made/had made such a guitar...

(Strum2, I hate to say this, but that's not very kind for monkeys)

It's a custom-build for Keef. Since he uses a customized open-G tuning with only 5 strings (no 6th) on a bunch of things, this 10-string gives him a '12-string' version of that tuning with octaves on 3 pair.
