DeArmond, one of America's traditional pickup manufacturers. "GUILD by DeArmond" was planned in the late 1990s, following Fender's acquisition of Guild. It has an LP-style appearance that follows Guild's "Bluesbird," and the body is made in Korea, with DeArmond USA pickups. Guild and DeArmond's parent company has now changed to Yamaha, and this model is no longer manufactured. The neck has about 80% life left, and there is no scratchiness, making it a guitar that can be used immediately. The neck doesn't seem to have much warping. There are some minor scratches and scuffs as it is an old item. Accessories include a soft case. The item will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in the soft case. *Guitar stand is not included.
