New Ampeg Dan Armstrong-esque Guitars - NAMM Release

Post by mjet » Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:46 pm

Pretty cool looking if you ask me - better than the mahogany ones they did in the late 90s with the semi-transparent finishes.

Nice, but that black/tort/rosewood is fugly. Mainly because the tort sucks. Black/black/maple would've been a winner.

the switchable pickups are cool but the hole in the guitar looks somehow stupid.  :P

I like the look of those, and wish they'll release a similar, wooden, bass version reasonably soon. (the plexi bass was recently reintroduced, see) 'Cause I could really see myself buying one of those...
