DeArmond M65c for the low low price of 90 bones. The bridge pickup actually sounds rather nice. but I'll probably put weird GFS stuff in later. It's going to be my designated half-step-down guitar.
The tailpiece rules, but the tuners are shockingly cheap. Like, goddamn.

Yep,I saw them at the Oxford Ale House in 1978 and Ricky Wilson had his Mosrite strung like that.

Nearly my first guitar! Mine was the M-65, not the M-65c. I love mine. Must get playing it more...

Good score. I remember all the deArmond stuff in the 90s, they were decent guitars. Never liked that Jetstar model though, that was one ugly motherfucker, the singer in the Nine Black Alps used one for a while.
