Keith’s first Fender Telecaster appears to have been this mid-1960s maple-cap Sonic Blue Telecaster. He was first photographed with it on July 1, 1966, which means it predates Micawber, as well as the rest of Keith’s known Telecasters, by a significant amount of time.
Unfortunately, it is not known what happened to the guitar. However, Keith was still seen with it in several photos from around 1967, most notably in Gered Mankowitz’s photographs taken at Olympic Studios in Barnes, London, while The Rolling Stones were working on Their Satanic Majesties Request.
Because of that, it is possible that this Telecaster was used during the sessions for that album.
