Great story. Two weeks is a long time to wait when there's money to be spent right there and then, lol. I'm pretty sure Keith only used it on that tour. I can't recall seeing it anywhere else, except possibly...does he play it on the Marquee set from '71?

He had two, the prototype and another. I think in 69 it was only the prototype. They both got stolen during EOMS sessions in France. I haven't watched that Marquee vid for a long while. The difference between the two is the color of the pickup. Definitely an iconic guitar.
Back on topic...WTF moments
Keith belting a stage invader with his (also iconic) black tele.

He actually bailed the guy out of jail after the show. And the guitar stayed in tune.

Richards is a huge old country fan. There are outtakes of him by himself doing Hank Williams etc. He was best mates with Gram Parsons in the 60s until he died. Gram hung out in France with them a while during Exile period. Wild Horses has some juicy KR country licks in the solo.
Country Honk has a great fiddle part throughout by some country guy. Story is he recorded it outside the actual studio building on street. lol
I think that is a big part of why I love the Stones sound, particularly during that period BB to EOMS. Chuck Berry mixed with acoustics, and some blues and country solos.

I very nearly posted something eerily si Ilaria to this some 2 months back but got side-tracked and ultimately forgot about it until I checked back here today. Yes, Richards has long been a huge country music fan. I posted the following a few years back now on Gram Parsons (post # 560) in that crazy country music history thread -
"... Richards has long credited Parsons with introducing him to the pleasures of classic country music, which has since remained his chief love and passion when not earning his money (and, unlike me, he's become a real expert on country music history). He also introduced Parsons to Mick Jagger, and what had up to then basically been a "rocked-up" blues band, by taking on-board the other parent of rock'n'roll, country music, and incorporating it into their sound, reached their artistic peak in their "Sticky Fingers" album. ...".

And just 3 weeks ago, Richards was on stage with Vince Gill and Gram Parson's former protege, Emmylou Harris at the Country Music Association's (CMA) Awards, performing Parsons' 'I Can't Dance' (from his 1974 Grevious Angel album - Emmylou Harris provided harmony backing for Parson's original). Here's a snippet of Richards guitar solo -
