"1960s AMPEG DAN ARMSTRONG LUCITE GUITAR-NECK CODE-A863D-PICKUP NUMBER IS RB, PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT!!!"
|
Fast forward to 2023 (or so) and A863D has sold through dealer GuitarPoint for EUR2,769. Someone along the way has sourced two OEM knobs and provided a decent case. Still just the one RB pickup, but certainly not impossible to find an RT along the way to complete the set.

Clean 1970 Dan Armstrong Lucite guitar in excellent condition for its age. Some minor playwear and a little repaired crack in the pickguard near the Volume pot, other than that no repairs, or hidden damages. Only a small number of this instrument has been built from 1969-1971. They chose lucite as a alternative body material for extanded sustain, another feature has been the exchangable pickup. Many famous players as K.Richards or The Georgia Satellites have played this Instrument for its special sound, great for slide-guitar.
Excellent playability, the original frets are still in perfect shape. Comes with a black hardshell case w/black interior.
