2008 Ampeg AMG 100 Electric Guitar Wine Red Very Clean Keith Richards Rocked One!
Solid Killer Secret Weapon Of A Guitar Here
Guitar is near mint and plays like a dream. No case. Set up and ready to rock. Will be professionally repacked.
This is one hell of a guitar. It plays like a vintage les paul for fraction of the price. I never realized how cool these guitars were till i sat down and played with it. Real rocker here folks! Really sweet player and tone. I always found these be very beautiful guitars. Excellent design and original looking. They are well made guitars as well. Solid woods very much like a fender or Gibson quality. Sound thick and creamy! Secret weapon here! Everything is stock to the guitar and it plays works wonderfully. Guitar is very clean for its age. All relatively light wear and tear. The frets are in excellent condition and everything works. Overall this guitar is in great shape. The guitar has minor superficial dings, scratches, wear and tear around various parts of the guitar. Typical of a guitar of this age.

First Impressions
We received the AMG100 BLD, which features a swamp ash body and a vintage blond finish. As the premium model in the AMG100 line, the BLD feels surprisingly insubstantial; to say the guitar is “lightweight” would be akin to saying that a 1958 LP “sounds good.” Everything about the AMG, from the ultra-thin design and the single-ply pickguard to the barely-there vintage finish—allowing plenty of the open ash grain to show through—feels airy and nimble. While perhaps not the most historically accurate—the classic Dan Armstrong plexi guitars were absurdly heavy affairs, requiring a strong frame and a stout disposition—players with bad backs, long sets or both will definitely enjoy this guitar. Think of the lightest Stratocaster you’ve ever owned, and you’ll get the idea.
Even though Ampeg has switched the AMG100 to a wood body, one idea that has remained is the swappable pickup system. The single pickup is housed in a channel carved out of the guitar’s top, and connected to the guitar’s circuitry by two metal prongs; by removing a thumbscrew in the back of the instrument, the pickup can be pulled out of the channel and replaced with another, all without having to remove strings or solder wires. It’s something that guitarists have always dreamed of and it works just fine, with the pickup snapping firmly into place, but it comes across more as a novelty than anything else. There are only two pickups available from Ampeg, and while only the “Sustain Treble” pickup shipped with our review guitar, the selection (or lack thereof) isn’t going to blow guitarists away. Furthermore, with the pickup removed, you could see the lessthan- impressive detail work inside the pickup channel, with the finish becoming somewhat sloppy and irregular. Granted, this is something you’ll rarely see, but it did distract from the presentation.
I actually found the neck to be the real treat on this guitar. The 24-fret, bolt-on maple neck felt both fast and stable at all points, which some might find surprising, considering the unique bolt-on design used here. Using four oversized bolts arranged in a square, the AMG100 neck is joined to the body at the 24th fret; while the connection doesn’t look to be the sturdiest, I can report no problems or complaints with it. In fact, it does such a great job staying out of the way that there is absolutely no hindrance of fret access on either side of the neck, providing you full use of two octaves.
The neck is slim and fits perfectly in the smallest of hands, moving from a gently curved C at the first position and gradually flattening out towards the 12th and beyond. The 24.75” scale drops this guitar firmly into Gibson territory, meaning that the AMG100 is wonderfully easy to play. It also helps give this guitar some warmth and depth, balancing out some of brightness of the tonewoods chosen here. The headstock retains the sharp, fluid style of the original, and even the truss rod cover looks appropriately hip. Nickel Grover die cast tuners keep things tuned up top, and according to Ampeg, are arranged in a tight pattern to minimize string tension differences. I can attest to the fact that the AMG100 did a great job of staying in tune, no matter what I threw at it. A chrome bridge/tailpiece, two retro knobs (Volume and Tone), dual strap buttons at the bottom of the guitar and a 3- way switch round out the package
