"Damn" Armstrong

previous | next

For a long time I was not actually sure what this started life as. I believed the body was either a Dan Armstrong or a Hagstrom. It turns out to be the body of a 1965 Hagstrom Viking (I only know because I just found a picture of one at the site), though I still call it the "Damn Armsrong". I got it goodness knows where in England and stuck on an old Gibson style neck I had lying around and voila a Damn Armstrong. It has two really awesome overwound single coils that give an instant George Thorogood-y type of growl. It's amazing for slide. I used it a lot on Invisible Ray stuff and a tiny bit on Hot Animal Machine (mostly for "Move Right In"). The neck on this is now manifesting its cheapiness so I might have to throw a new one on.
