Believed to be an early 2000's-era model.
MIK, DeArmond 2K pickups.
Good condition, plays well, sounds good - and twangy, to my ears ;)
With non-original bright red HSC, asking $725 OBO + shipping.

Awesome, with matching case even!

This has to be one of the last Korean-made DeArmonds, in fact I didn't know they were still making them in Korea in '01.

The above one is KC0102, so the 02 could be February. The August 1, 2001 pricelist has the T-400 still listed, so they were made for quite some time afterwards as it looks. Not sure when the T-400 production was stopped. There wasn't a Squier T-400 afterwards, or?

Thanks for the info, gentlemen! I knew very little about this guitar - very helpful!
Ralf, I've seen Squire X-155s but not any T-400s, but who knows?
Seems like the few X-155 Squires I've seen didn't have the DeArmond Gold Tone pickups,
they were fitted with something else.

Squire X-155 - guessing these were the last of the last,
this example sold on Reverb four years ago.

Someone at Squier evidently went to the trouble to design a tailpiece for the brand, but I don't recall seeing it on any other Squier model. I guess Squier's jazz box business just didn't take off.

I just checked the catalogs. The former DeArmond models run under the name of "Series 24" and the Starfire and X-155 were the two only semi-/hollow body versions. So the T-400 stopped sometime in late 2001 or early 2002. The Squier X-155 was indeed a very fancy version with those nice inlays and the tailpiece! The last time she showed up in catalogs was in 2005, afterwards she was history as well.

Sorry for the veer, back to selling Boneville's beautiful DeArmond T-400!
