PLease forgive me if I sound like I am boasting. The only DeArmonds I have left are the Starfire Special and the M-77T.I also happen to own a Cort 4-string bass 4 Yamaha basses, three 4 string and a 5 string a PRS Santana SE two Washburn Acoustic-electric, and a 1967 Fender Kingman Acoustic Concert Guitar. I said "owned" because my wife said I had to "trim down" my guitar collection. In addition to this, I purchased the M-66 and Pilot Pro 4 Sting Bass for my son. Dearmond used a multitude of methods from. From the FH 'guitar mike' with its modified magnetic field to the 1000 with a hidden secondary coil.

I owned the X-155 full bodied jazz model, supposedly based on the Guild Manhatten, the Starfire Special, based on the Guild Starfire III, the M-77 and M-77T (with tremelo). He developed the first after market pickup line to attach to unamplified guitars and produced them in association with Rowe Industries. However, I liked DeArmond so much that at one time I owned 4. I'm sorry if that sounded like a commercial. It's just a matter of fitting the guitar to you. I could not find fault with the quality or craftsmenship, for the price or half again the price. Brand new that M75 listed for $799.99US, back in 2000-01. I don't know if you have made you purchase by now, but DeArmond made a quality guitar before Fender dropped the entire model line and renamed some of them with the Squire name tag. This is a reissue of the Guild Starfire used by Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead)and Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane). : been offered M75 MINT COND AND PADDED GIBSON GIG BAG FOR £190 DeArmond Starfire Bass Guitar - 575 (Lebanon) 1999 DeArmond by Guild Starfire semi-hollowbody bass guitar. : anyone out there got any idea if these are any good
