New DeArmond M70 Electric Guitar
July 26, 1999For working musicians, closet
rock-and-rollers, Bluesmen on the club circuit or garage band axe-slingers,
DeArmond's newest electric guitar will fit a specific niche in any guitarist's
arsenal. The all new M70 from DeArmond offers guitarists versatility with
an added sense of style, and is an affordable solid-body alternative to
the myriad of wanna-be guitar lines.
Introduced
at this summer's NAMM convention in Nashville, the M70 features what few
others in its price range can offer - American-made pickups. The two DeArmond
Goldtone Humbucking pickups come standard on the M70, and are produced
at Fender's state-of the-art manufacturing facility in Corona, California.
If you're looking for the sound that only a stop-bar bridge design can
offer, the M70 has it. The set neck and stop-bar bridge design offer up
an alternative to the very popular "harp" style of bridges used
on others in DeArmond's family of guitars. The stop bar-bridge adds a
greater tension to the strings, giving it a bit more of a percussive tone
and a longer sustain than the more jazz and swing oriented harp design.
The result is added versatility, as the M70 enables guitarists to expand
their collection of performance weapons, at an affordable price.
Edgy, sleek and powerful, the M70 has it all. Its solid mahogany body
with single cutaway shape is a rock-and-roll classic. The mahogany neck
with rosewood fretboard adds to the tone and sustain of the guitar, with
the fretboard highlighted by its pearloid "dot" inlays. And,
as previously mentioned, there are the M70's two DeArmond Goldtone Humbucking
pickups and Guild stop-bar tailpiece.
Available color options for the M70 include- Black; Crimson Red Transparent;
and Emerald Green Transparent. United States MSRP for the M70 without
a case is $599.99; or an MSRP of just $129.00 more for an M70 with a case. For more information on DeArmond products, visit www.dearmondguitars.com.
