About DeArmond

DeArmond holds a unique place in guitar history, initially renowned for their innovative vibrato units and amplifiers in the 1940s. Later, the brand transitioned to producing high-quality pickups, often sought after for their vintage-inspired tones and distinctive character. While ownership has shifted over the years, DeArmond pickups maintain a reputation for delivering a distinct, warm, and articulate sound.
