Looks more like a tribute to the Henry rifle to me.

Re: I Want This Guitar
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.LeftyStrat wrote:The one I always wanted something I saw Keith Richards playing once. It had a metal front that was etched.

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

Re: I Want This Guitar
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.
