DeArmond is a historic brand in the world of musical instruments, best known for its pickups, electric guitars, and basses. Originally founded in the early 1930s, DeArmond made a name for itself by producing innovative and high-quality pickups, many of which became highly sought after by guitarists. In particular, DeArmond’s *Gold Tone* and *DeArmond* pickups gained popularity for their warm, clear tone and were used in several well-known guitars, such as the Gretsch and Guild models.

The brand eventually expanded its product offerings to include a range of electric guitars and basses. In the 1990s, DeArmond became a part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, though the DeArmond name is still associated with vintage instruments and distinctive pickup designs. Today, DeArmond pedals, pickups, and guitars are appreciated by musicians who seek classic, vintage-inspired tones. Their pickups, particularly, remain highly regarded in the world of guitar enthusiasts for their smooth, dynamic response and warm, full-bodied sound.
