SOLD: Vintage Dan Armstrong London Guitar and Bass Bodies/Necks in three lots.
What's Hot
For those of you unfamiliar feel free to check out the original thread:
After lots of PM's and discussions its unlikely anyone is going to take the financial risk of taking the whole collection from me, I have decided to split the collection into three lots, Each lot will consist of 6 guitar bodies and necks and 4 bass bodies and necks and two constructed guitars, so 12 potential instruments, I am asking for £2500 per lot so essentially £208 per guitar, Each lot will consist of:
4 Bass Necks
4 Bass Bodies (Pre selected)
6 Guitar Necks
6 Guitar Bodies (Buyer can select)
2 Constructed Instruments (Buyer can select)
Equal share of hardware
There are three body shapes that date from the very start of production through to when the factory closed in 1974, I have christened these Long Horn, Short Horn and Short Horn Offset (pictures below)
On top of this, If you buy a lot I will let you take whatever you like of the left over 55 bodies at a price of £40 per body. I must stress that this opportunity is for someone with the tools and skills to turn these into instruments, It is not a kit or beginners project, Every neck and body will require work to get it to finishing stage, Most of the bodies have finish that will need stripping and all necks will need sanding and possibly grain filling, This is before you have sourced and/or manufactured the parts needed to complete them. Lots of pictures of the whole lot below, Enjoy

What does the lightest weigh? And the heaviest?
I'm out because I spent my money elsewhere (new tools etc...)
I would still be interested in helping assemble a couple. So if anyone is interested, but put off by the prospect of it being too much work I may be able to help for a reasonable price because it interests me. But lets be clear on expectation, I would happily do 2 or 3. if they turned out okay (i.e. not a total ball ache to get right) I may be willing to do more, but i would not be able to do 36 this side of the next millenium
