This white 10oz ceramic mug is decorated with a highly detailed hand drawn illustration of Keith Richards' famous 1954 Butterscotch Blonde Fender Telecaster named Micawber, from George Morgan.

Micawber

Named Micawber after one of Charles Dickens' characters, this 1954 butterscotch blonde Fender Telecaster with maple neck and black pickguard was presented to Keith at his twenty-seventh birthday party by Eric Clapton.

Keith had a number of modifications carried out, including changing the original bridge for a six-saddle solid brass version. He then had the low E string removed so that he could have the guitar set up as a five-string in open G tuning. The original stock single coil Telecaster neck pickup was replaced with a humbucker and the Telecaster bridge pickup has also been replaced with a Fender lap steel pickup. 

Micawber has been played by Keith in numerous recording sessions and live performances since 1971 and remains one of his go-to guitars.

The illustration of this famous Telecaster is original and has been produced by George Morgan following extensive research. This is not a photograph.

The guitar has been dye sublimated onto the mug. This means the image is under the ceramic glaze and is dishwasher, microwave and UV-proof and with normal domestic use will not scratch, crack, fade or peel.

The durable nature of this printing process makes this mug ideal for use in the house or studio.
