It absolutely depends on the guitar as a dearmond is a microphonic pickup so it responds to the acoustic environment. I also could do a video comparing a vintage 1000 ( no polepieces ) and a...

dearmond 1100 reissue vs original which one is better?

Yes, George's name costs $$$. But they are different gauges, which really shouldn't cost more.

I am a big fan of the early 60's 175. I had one and the reason it is gone is that like most guitars of that vintage, it needed a lot of restoration. I had a lot of work done and was not happy with...

How is the Steve Howe 175?

I had a 2010 Steve Howe. Just a 175 with a L-5 bridge base. No difference except for the finish. Triburst with black rims.

Thanks! I subscribe to Truefire, (it's superb) but hadn't seen this new course. It's perfect for me especially as I am first a singer and this has tons of useful technique for accompanying vocals and...
