DeArmond 260 1980s - Black

DeArmond pickups from the 1960s are legendary and highly acclaimed; they deliver a powerful, distinctly electric sound that is best suited for use with tube amps.
In the 1980s, the American company introduced pickups better suited to acoustic strings (bronze and phosphor bronze), aiming for superior acoustic reproduction.

The Model 260 clearly falls into this category; it is a robust, reliable pickup featuring a humbucker for magnetic string capture—providing fullness and depth—combined with a piezo sensor to add attack and capture the instrument's acoustic vibration.

Its output level is solid yet more moderate than the 1960s versions, ensuring a more natural sound. The result is highly impressive; it is a versatile, all-around performer—a great floating pickup that you can easily swap between different guitars.
