New guitar day. DeArmond M75.

Resurrecting again bc I have one and I was playing it tonight. It's an M75 in Moon blue. 2000. Previous owner took off the pick guard and filled in the holes. He also replaced the knobs. I paid $525. Yes it is heavy, but I kind of like that.

The gold tone pickups do a nice sweet twang thing in the middle position. Neck pickup is a little muddy, bridge a little bright, but the middle is really unique and twangy. Sometimes I wonder what it would sound like with some more traditional humbuckers though.

It has some nice gold appointments (or, brass I guess. heh).

Beautiful guitar! Please don't replace the pickups. You can find plenty of other guitars with traditional humbuckers, but the M75 with Gold Tones is a unique instrument and destined to be a cult classic!

Very nice. They are unique for sure.
