Emilio,

that bridge is definitely a modification. The DT400 had a Gibraltar bridge and a Quik-Change tailpiece.

Here's a scan of the '81 catalog:

1981-Destroyer Series

Juergen

Juergen is correct. That looks like a Kahler bridge. None of the 1980-81 Destroyers had a factory trem (DT-50 / DT-400). The first Destroyer to come from the factory with a trem was the 1982 DT-555BK and that was not a locking trem.
