Micawber is the name of Keith's main Fender Telecaster. It is an early 50's butterscotch color model with a black pickguard & a stock 3 way switch. The sixth string is removed, it's always tuned to open G (G,D,G,B,D) low to high with no capo. Gauges .011,.015,.018,.030,.042. It has replacement tuners & a brass replacement bridge with individual saddles, and the nut is cut to accomodate 5 strings-they aren't evenly spaced across the fingerboard, but the first string is moved a bit to keep it from going over the edge. It has a Gibson PAF humbucker in neck position, original Tele pickup in the bridge position. It is warm & thick sounding & can be heard on such live tracks as "Before They Make Me Run", "Brown Sugar", "Mixed Emotions", and "Honky Tonk Women".
