DeArmond guitars were first introduced in 1998 by Guild, a subsidiary of Fender by using reissues of their guitar designs and adding the DeArmond pickups from the DeArmond company which Fender had purchased in 1996. Named after Harry DeArmond who invented the first commercial attachable pickups along with his many other contributions. These guitars were acclaimed for their great quality at an affordable price. They were built and put together in Korea and Indonesia then sent to the United States where the American made DeArmond Pickups were then added.
Looking At Some Popular Models Of DeArmond Guitars
Electric Hollow Bodies
The electric hollow bodies include the X155 and the T400. Both are great guitars for jazz and comparable to much more expensive guitars. Equipped with a set of two gold tone humbucking pickups as well as two tone and volume control knobs. The T400 also incorporates the DeArmond vibro tailpiece and a roll-o-matic bridge. These guitars look as good as they sound.
Electric Semi-Hollow Bodies
DeArmond Guitars also feature electric semi-hollow bodies that include the Starfire and the Starfire Special. Both use a solid center block for feedback resistance while still allowing for a more open tone not characteristic of a solid body guitar. The Starfire Special also includes the DeArmond Vibro tailpiece, 2K Alnico single-coil pickups as well as a roll-o-matic bridge as of 2001.
Solid Body DeArmond Guitars
There are several solid body models that include: M-50, M-66, M-68, M-72, M-77T, S-65, S-67, S-73-12. The M-50 and model numbers through the M-77T body shape resembles that 
of a Gibson Les Paul while the S-65 through S-73-12 is reminiscent of a Gibson SG model.

The M-77T features a chambered agathis maple top body and maple neck. The S-73 has both a maple neck and body which also comes with the S-73-12.
