Dave Grohl Dan Armstrong Re-Issue?

Posted by Echelon on Tue, 06/17/2003 - 00:47.

Does anyone have one of these? It's the clear one given to him by a member of Cheap Trick I believe. The see through one. It was used in the "all my life" foo fighters video. I'm interested if anybody has one. Email me with pix.

Re: Dave Grohl Dan Armstrong Re-Issue?

Posted by Kyle Toucher on Mon, 06/30/2003 - 15:53.

I have one of the transparent black ones. It plays better than my 69...waaaay better. The neck is slimmer and it *almostr* stays in tune...pretty high praise for a DA!.

Re: Dave Grohl Dan Armstrong Re-Issue?

Posted by Luis. G. on Sat, 08/02/2003 - 04:27.

are you interested in selling it? How much did you get it for?

As far as I know only two lefty Dan Armstrong clear guitars were made. One guitar and one bass. Both owned by Sir Paul McCartney. If anybody wants a closeup pix of paul, I have one I got from Linda McCartney. Pretty cool and very rare guitar indeed.

London model

Posted by Tony Gleave on Thu, 05/08/2003 - 09:51.

Just curious really about my guitar - when it was made and how many. It has 348 stamped in it. Unfortunately I daren't slide the pickup due to a break in the wire right where it enters the plastic casing. It's ok, the instrument sounds fine with the pickup where it is but if anyone has a suggestion, do call.

Manual

Posted by Don on Wed, 05/14/2003 - 12:11.

Does anyone have an original Dan Armstrong manual in good shape that they are willing to sell/ trade.

I have many original parts / necks etc.

Re: Manual

Posted by Kyle Toucher on Wed, 05/14/2003 - 23:21.

Do you happen to have an original pickguard? Turns out the re-issues don' fit properly.

Unfortunately I have no manual of any kind...but I'd sure be inclinded to purchase a pickguard.

Cheers

Serial number give a rough indication of when your guitar was made. They were only made between 1969 and either late 70 or early 71. There are other ways to date them if your guitar is all original
