    Default What model is Keith Richards' Guild acoustic?

    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!

    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.
