De Armonds were great guitars for the money. They were a less expensive division of Guild and I believe Gretsch even utilized De Armond pick-ups, if I remember correctly. What price are they asking?
A few years ago Guild stopped manufacturing De Armonds and they were blowing-out all their stock around the country for a song. I regret not jumping at the opportunity at the time.
A lot of the guys here got some great deals during the blow-out and they can fill you in with all the details about De Armond.
