Dan Armstrong’s classic Plexi axe is back! The Dan Armstrong
\nPlexi Guitar is a reissue of his 1969 creation, which was as innovative
\nfor its unique see-through design as it was for its interchangeable
\npickups. This guitar was most famously wielded by Keith Richards in the
\nlate 1960s and early 1970s, as seen in the legendary concert film Gimme Shelter.
\nThe pickups are removeable, giving the Dan Armstrong Plexi Guitar two
\ndistinct tonal options. Whether you’re shopping for a guitar dripping
\nwith vintage vibe or a versatile tone machine, the Dan Armstrong Plexi
\nGuitar fits the bill! Ampeg Dan Armstrong Plexi Guitar at a Glance: Pickups

\nPickups
\nThe
\nAmpeg ADA6 Dan Armstrong Guitar comes equipped with two removable
\npickups, each with it’s own distinct sound. The RT or Rock Treble
\npickup is an exact duplicate of the original RT from 1969, known for
\nits spectacularly bright high end. Pure Rock and Roll! The ST or
\nSustain Treble pickup, on the other hand, is a dual blade,
\nhum-canceling pickup that offers a fatter tone and tremendous sustain,
\nuseful for modern soloing. The pickups can be interchanged by removing
\nthe small thumb screw on the rear of the body and sliding the existing
\nunit out of the pickup cavity. Controls
\nThe unique
\nAmpeg Dan Armstrong Tone Control circuit offers incredible tonal
\nflexibility from a single pickup unit. A 3-position switch is used to
\nallow various “presets”. In the Center position, the Tone control is
\nbypassed with the signal sent from the Volume control directly to the
\ninstrument output jack. In the Forward position, the Tone control acts
\nin a conventional way, smoothly reducing high frequencies to a warm,
\ndark timbre. In the Rear position, different frequencies are affected
\nby the Tone control, which allows a sound reminiscent of a half-cocked
\nwah pedal. Good for overdriven solos! When the Tone control is fully on
\n(clockwise) little effect will be heard. As the Tone control is rotated
\ncounterclockwise, the effect of the Front and Rear switch positions
\nbecomes more apparent. A bit of experimentation will provide you with
\nsome interesting and useful sounds. Bridge
\nThe Ampeg
\nDan Armstrong Guitar uses a carved rosewood bridge mounted to a steel
\nbridge plate. Small brass inserts are inlaid into the bridge, which
\nallows accurate intonation for string sets using an unwound “G”. A
\nsmall screw under the bridge plate mounts into a threaded insert under
\nthe bridge to keep the bridge in place during string replacement. This
\nscrew has been set at the factory to be tight enough to keep the bridge
\nin place, but loose enough to allow adjustment when different string
\ngauges are used. Ampeg Dan Armstrong Plexi Guitar Features: Reissue of classic electric guitar
