The one I always wanted something I saw Keith Richards playing once. It had a metal front that was etched.

I wish I could find more info on it.

Are you speaking of Zemaitis guitars? Tony Zemaitis built one of a kind instruments for some big names. Notably Ron Wood of the Stones.

Tony has passed but the family sold the rights to the name and the tradition has carried on.....very expensively I might add.

This is the guitar I believe you are referring to

Inexpensive alternative to Zemaitis Guitars with the same look

You're right, it wasn't Keith it was Ron. I remember now it was a Faces concert where Keith joined them on stage.

Yea Woody also has a metal front in addition to that disc front. Still Zemaitis though. I have had a jones for one for a long time. I love the metal front and the pearl front too.
