Frequently Asked Questions
The DeArmonds have a brighter, almost chime-like quality – less aggressive than many single coils, but with a unique, vintage warmth.
It's a floating trem, so requires a bit more care; proper setup is crucial to avoid tuning issues, but it's capable of some cool vibrato effects.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a slightly snappier attack and a bit less overall sustain than a set neck, but the Surfliner's poplar body compensates well.
