Please don't do this to your Dan Armstrong instrument. Above left, this guitar has been modified in so many ways that it is difficult to begin describing it. In addition to the lower body horn being removed, the instrument now features a humbucking pickup, Tuno-Matic^® style bridge, some form of stop tailpiece, along with massive amounts of routing in the body. The switch has been removed from the guitar's circuitry, and the volume and tone controls have been relocated on the extra large clear scratchplate of which can be seen better at the upper right.

At upper left, the headstock on the guitar shown above has a slight modification as well. As can be seen it now has a Gibson ^® style bell shaped truss rod cover, while the headstock shown in the upper right has its tuners changed out.

The headstock at upper left has been altered by adding a different, darker nut and dark tuners to match while the headstock shown at upper right (which can also be seen in the guitar section) has had the wood grained Formica^® veneer replaced with black aluminum with white trim. Black screws on the matching truss cover complete the look.

At upper left, Precision Bass^® type pickups with a black trim ring, coupled with a clear scratchplate makes a mess out of this bass and makes it impossible to put back to original. At upper right, a more cleaner approach is to encase a pickup in epoxy that will seat into the present cavity on the bass. In this way, it is an easy task reverting the instrument back to original.

Upper left, notice the adjustable Tele^® like tailpiece screwed down on the acrylic as well as a humbucking pickup, complete with ring in a slanted position across the strings. The chrome plated Univox^® styled scratchplate lacks the switch, and has two clear, speed type knobs installed. Notice how the scratchplate has been cut out with the pickup to be straight. It would appear the pickup had been slanted afterwards.

At upper right, a bass sporting a humbucking pickup with what appears to be a home made mounting ring is screwed down into the acrylic body of this bass. The rosewood bridge has been replaced with a metal bridge that is secured in place with two mounting type screws running through it, while the bottom half of the scratchplate appears to have been broken off completely and has since had a replacement half installed. Gold speed type knobs complete this mod.
