See through gas.....Dan Armstrong
« on: August 14, 2010, 08:33:49 PM »
Always wanted one of these are a bit of a marmite guitar.
Saw one in Guitarzone in Halifax....thanks Chris (also a bkp dealer), he'd taken in trade, so got for a good price.



So will soon be big sale with my Dearmond, an amp and A deluxe electric mistress going.
Sorry cr@p at pics here's a better one of what they look like

Congrats, I love those Dan Armstrong guitars - would love one, but Guitar Guitar want £1200; which is a bit rich for me.  Plus, if you're not keen on the pickup, its not like you can slap in your fave BKP.

Having just hada go on this gotta say that SG has got a bloody bargin! It sounds ace with the P90 pickup & going into an AC30, total Foo's. The guitar feels right when being played, it's nicely positioned & the weight is spread very evenly. The fingerboard seems very flat on them & quite wide as well, I'd guess at it being either a 12 or 14" radius...definitely not my kinda thing, but I can see why SG loves it, he was like a giddy school childd
"Praising Phil X for his enthusiasm seems a bit like praising Hitler for his ambition"

Nice score :)  Chris is indeed a top guy.

Is this one of the reissues?

comes with 2, you undo thumb screw and slide out put next one in....comes with one single or is it p90 ish handwound to original spec and one sustain humbucker. His son kent will apparently make you any you want if asked.......dearnt ask price on that. Just worked out is 2007...and stripper shoes cool...I may just keep my clothes on though
