Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll. Metropolitan Museum of Art.. "Richards played this guitar during the Rolling Stones’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, in 1964. Along with Eric Clapton, he was one of the first influential guitarists to use the Les Paul Standard after it was discontinued in 1961, reviving interest in the model and leading Gibson to begin producing the Les Paul Deluxe in 1968. Richards’s use of this instrument has helped establish the 1958–60 sunburst-finish Les Paul Standard as one of the most sought-after electric guitars in the world. He later switched to Fender Telecasters for the majority of his playing. ", "Technical Description: Mahogany body and neck, carved maple top, rosewood fingerboard; 24¾ in. scale; sunburst finish with cream binding; set neck with pearloid trapezoid inlays and cream binding; inlaid mother-of-pearl Gibson logo on headstock; two PAF humbucking pickups, three-way selector switch, two volume and two tone controls; nickel-plated ABR-1 tune-o-matic bridge, patent numbered Bigsby B7 vibrato, and Grover Rotomatic tuners, clear and gold knobs, cream plastic pickguard; tuners replaced, Bigsby vibrato installed ", "Object Details ", "Title: Les Paul Standard, serial #9 3182 ", "Artist: Gibson (American, founded Kalamazoo, Michigan 1902) ", "Artist: Keith Richards (British, born Dartford, Kent, 1943) ", "Date:: : 1959 ", "Medium: Mahogany, maple, rosewood, nickel, plastic ", "Dimensions: Length: 39 1/4 in.

"Keith Richards is widely hailed as one of rock and roll’s greatest rhythm guitar players. His sound is largely a result of the alternate, open tunings—tuning the strings to a major chord—that he has long used for his music. "I’ve never been one of the floor pedal guys," said Richards. "Just get me a good sound." In the late 1960s, he began using an electric guitar with the lowest E string removed, with the other five strings tuned to a major chord. Richards’s open tuning creates what he describes as a "beautiful resonance" and long sustain, because the vibrations of the notes in different octaves reinforce one another through sympathetic resonance. As a result, his rig has been fairly modest, reliant on basic amplifier equipment. His music and signature sound have influenced generations of rock and roll musicians. ", "Rig Includes: 1954 "Micawber" Telecaster (rotating) / 1959 Les Paul Standard (rotating) / Two 1950s tweed Fender Twin combo amps ", "Object Details ", "Title: Rig ", "Artist: Keith Richards (British, born Dartford, Kent, 1943) ", "Medium: Wood, plastic, metal ", "Classification: Electrophone ", "Credit Line: Collection of Keith Richards ", "Provenance: Keith Richards, ca. 1965 "
