Dan Armstrong Ampeg Guitar...

Just got the MSG DVD from September 2005, and Noticed that Keith is playing the clear plexiglass, Dan Armstrong Ampeg guitar on Bitch. Has anyone else seen Keith Playing this guitar since 1971? Thats the last time I have seen it on stage. Ronnie had it in his guitar arsenal at the Orpheum show in Boston, 2002, but never actually played it onstage...

Thanks for any info,

JR

This question appeared a few days ago on a thread about guitars and somebody even posted a pic with Keef playing it in San Francisco on the 72 Tour. It was a surprise for me, too!

Is it from the FF-concert? I didn't recognize it...

I think his original was stolen. Then he bought new ones but he didn't like them. I guess he started to like them now.

here's that 72 photo that ChrisM posted:

Mathijs had also explained that after Keith's first two (prototype) Ampeg Dan Armstrongs were stolen,
he got two new ones for the 72 tour, but didn't like them:

edit: nice timing, Reptile ... :E

Thats a great 1972 shot! Wyman is playing the Bass version as well....

A friend of mine gave Keith a vintage (late 60s one) at SF during Voodoo Lounge tour.

I wonder if this is the one...

About guitar arsenals, has anybody ever tried to list all guitars used by the Stones since, let's say, 1969?? It would be nice having such a list. And I wouldn't be surprised if Ronnie's list was longer than Keith's, seeing some weird guitars he shows nowadays. Mathijs was doing a great research about this subject (the guitars used by the Stones), he maybe has something similar... Mathijs, where are you?

BTW, does anybody know what guitar is this one featured on this RO board header?? [novogate.com] It's not a Zemaitis.

I think that might be a Burns, or Burns-Baldwin, which I learned recently are being reissued, not sure by whom.

Stone-Relics, I think you are talking a about our mutual friend Dave W! When he told me the story about giving the guitar to Keith I was very excited and slightly envious that I wasn't there! I seem to remember him telling me that Keith played bits of SFD on it. Have you told him that Keith is using perhaps the very same guitar?
