The "Science" of the Stones guitars is to me infinitely interesting. I love these threads. I thought too that on Ya-yas "Rambler" at first that it had to be the 355, and then at some point heard it be the Armstrong. Its really in the parts when they start motoring. On the B chord, chugging along. It's a slight change in beat, there's a riff that Keith does over and over; and thats where IMO it sounded to me like the DA.
Then of course someone provided the game changer photo.
Did Jagger ever wear that shirt on the 69 tour though? It may be that early on - at the Ft Collins gig. That I think is where that pic could be from.
Sorry - I realize I am referring to the other thread, that was linked in this thread.

The guitar arsenal was stellar but the glorious tones on Ya Yas were largely down to those early Ampeg SVTs cooking on gas mark 7.
They weren't very reliable but...God, could they sing !

They blew up. very often
Yes Ampeg had just started the new SVT line; they were actually intended to be Bass amps. Keith' and Taylor put guitars through them, at very loud volumes, and the amps got too hot. They had backups, and also solid states they were hauling along. Ampegs were big and heavy though. hat a unique sound the cooked up though on that tour.Quote

I don't know the shirt or particular show but he is in those famed "button on mah trousers" toreador pants in that shot.

I always loved the way Keith's guitars sounded on Ya Ya's. Never had the same crunch and growl once he started favoring Fenders.

Did he even use a Tele on that tour? He used a Les Paul for HTW...
