The Dan Armstrong instruments were modified with other tunable type bridges as well. At upper left, a string-thru body design is used, much like what is seen on a Fender Telecaster^® guitar. Notice the black plastic underneath the unit, most likely placed there to hide the scars of the alteration. Also notice the chrome style scratchplate, with an additional screw added in front of the pickup as well as an additional switch added to the guitars circuitry.

At upper right, a humbucking pickup, complete with ring is somehow attached in the regular pickup cavity with an unusual tunable style bridge and tailpiece added. Notice what looks like a single black & white wire leaving the pickup ring and entering the guitar underneath the scratchplate. Also a black scratchplate has been added.

As seen upper left, another a string-thru body design with a silver or grey scratchplate. Also a matching piece was placed under the bridge as well. Again this is most likely to cover the work underneath. A different switch and knobs top off the mod. At upper right, the mod seen from the bottom side.

As seen above left, a major mod consisting of a tunable style bridge along with a Bigsby^® vibrato tailpiece and a Seymour Duncan^® humbucker placed and wired into a wooden holder that allows the pickup to slide in and out like a Dan Armstrong pickup. Also seen is black and silver replacement knobs as well as a washer placed over the output jack. Notice the factory routing of the acrylic body where the ball end of the strings would normally be. It now lies between the tailpiece and the bridge.

As seen upper right, another Seymour Duncan^® humbucker placed into a wooden holder - though this holder does not feature the female banana jacks like the former one. Instead a hole was drilled through the acrylic between the two male banana plugs - and the wire is run from the pickup through the hole and into the control cavity where it then solders to the guitar's circuitry. Although a small hole was drilled this type of mod is much more forgiving as it can be hidden and virtually put back to stock simply by sliding in a Dan Armstrong pickup. Black speed knobs complete this minor mod.

A more cleaner looking type mod can be seen above left where a humbucking pickup with metal cover and height adjustment screws is fitted into a wooden block that closely matches the Formica^® wood grain surrounds. At upper right, a better view of the pickup height adjustment screws can be seen. It is unknown for certain if this wooden block utilizes female banana plugs or not, but if it does it could well be the best possible pickup mod ever. Notice the addition of a different switch and knobs as well.

Above left, another nice clean type of mod. A humbucking pickup encased in a clear resin, complete with female banana jacks which can be easily seen through the clear resin. In this way, one just slides the custom made pickup out and a Dan Armstrong pickup in and the instrument remains unaltered which is much more preferable when compared to other mods like the bridge mod seen at upper right, which forever changes the instrument. This mod is almost identical to the mod shown earlier on one of my Dan Armstrong guitars.
