You've had one of these before no? Aren't these the Dearmond guitars from when Fender took them over?

Yes that is right,left over DeArmond bodies. Fender finished them with Duncan Designed pickups

These are some totally affordable, solid, and forgotten guitars. I really loved the DeArmond line. I have an M75 that nobody is ever going to wrestle away from me.

An M-65 was my first ever guitar, then I got an M-65c off shad (basically the same guitar with a carved top and a scratchplate). I love those guitars. They're both bolt on, is the M-75 set neck?

Yes, the M75 is set neck. It has a bound neck and body, block inlays, and the fancy "D" tailpiece. It was a lot of guitar for not a lot of money. I saw one (Or Maybe the Guild version) in the Taking Back Sunday video for Great Romances of the 20th Century and had to have it.

Looks awesome, I love that red! I think I'm going to have to try and dig one of these up, I always wanted a Guild Polara/S100.

Here's my DeArmond.

Nice. I've wanted one of the Guild ones since I first saw Kim Thayil playing them. I'd like to get one of the acorn carve ones.
