Title: Today's Header-Keith's Clear Ampeg Guitar.
Post by Heart Of Stone on Sep 13^th, 2010 at 7:44pm

What ever happened to it? I remember it so well from the '69 tour, & that backstage footage of Hendrix playing it, I wonder if it got stolen that time in France when somebody walked of with about 20 of them?

Probably before Nellcote I have not seen any picture of the 1971 Tour with this one

BTW, this was the header

I'm pretty sure I read an interview once where he said that he eventually got all of those back.

Keith owned two of them, both original 1969's.
Pictures of Keith with these guitars during Nellcote recordings exist.
You can see one in the new "Exile" booklet
Both guitars were stolen in Nellcote.
