Keith has been using a newer plexiglass Dan Armstrong guitar on the European tour. Can anyone tell me what songs he uses that guitar on?

Thanks

In Barcelona, he used that guitar on "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" and "Sympathy For The Devil".

Thanks very much, that helps. I also found from the link that Ronnie used one for JJF.

Ronnie's had one for years, Keith must have borrowed it from him.

The originals were inexpensive. You could buy one in the early 70's for about $200, almost half of what a strat cost, today the re-issues are about $1,399

They've both got one.
I suppose they may have been promotional "gifts" from the latest and quite actively marketed "re-issue" prodution run.
Keith is certainly the most noted user of the original. Great promotion for the maker and probably fun for Keith to use one again after all those years.
Ronnie will play anything that seems like fun at the time ;^)

The lastest re-issues are not completely faithful to the original recipe but the alterations to the neck joint and bridge arrangement are genuine performance related improvements so that the guitar will be more stable and perform in line with modern expectations.
