From a reader: “You may not be aware of this, but Keith Richards’s favorite
guitar was a lucite Dan Armstrong ampeg. Most of the Rolling stones work
from 1969-72 has him playing this guitar. Lucite has characteristics that
make it very suitable for the body of an electric guitar, namely density.
The lucite imparts a strong rock and roll sound. The guitar was eventually
stolen and never replaced. Ampeg stopped making them after 1972, they are
rarities now.
“Here is a phote of the bass version of the guitar.”
