Go, go, DeArmond

[AcornHouse]

This reunion/quarantine video of the Go-Gos popped up in my YouTube feed. I started to notice a familiar bridge/stoptail setup in Jane’s guitar, then a Chesterfield logo. But the name didn’t look like Guild, and it was an odd configuration. (If she would just stand still for a minute!) Finally I realized it was a DeArmond (by Guild)! No clue on their models, so I’ll let the DeArmond aficionados weigh in.
I couldn’t find a shot on Google Image, but I got a screen shot of the video.

Great tune, cool vid!
Sure looks like a DeArmond M70.
Found a thread from 2018 with great info from Ralf:

De Armond M70

Hello All, I have a De Armond M70, s/n KC9072501, with Gold Foil pickups. I've been trying to track down info on the De Armond M70, and most of what I've found is over 10 years old. From what I gather it was produced in Korea, in 1999 (July), according to one source re: decoding De Armond serial...

I love my Korean-made DeArmond by Guild, a Starfire Special with single-coil DA pickups.

I've owned it since I bought it new 20 years ago, and there's not a scratch or a ding anywhere. The finish is indestructible I guess, because I've played it a lot including at gigs.
