Description
T-Armond™ Bridge Pickup - DeArmond Mount
Our version of the original DeArmond 2000 pickups are more controlled in the high frequencies, taking away earth shattering ice-pickiness while keeping that "off-the-rails" attitude that these pickups are known for. Of course, at lower gain levels they sing with unmatched fidelity and clarity. Tom designed our T-Armond set after Brian Setzer's '56 Silver Jet that was used on his Dirty Boogie album. That guitar spent many hours on Tom's workbench over the years.
Tone/Characteristics
The T-Armonds are in a league of their own with crystal clear highs, bellowing lows, and a tastefully controlled midrange. They perform really well with and without a lot of gain. Some say they sound like tele pickups on steroids.
Output/Power
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.
Bridge: DCR - 11.8k / Inductance - 4.56H
Neck: DCR - 7.8k / Inductance - 3.38H
Installation:
The DeArmond Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for guitars with standard sized Dynasonic/DeArmond 2000 style pickups. This pickup comes with two pieces of foam shims for height adjustment. DeArmond Mounting Screws are sold separately if necessary.
Wiring Notes
This pickup is shipped with standard 2-conductor wire.
Helpful Notes
Dynasonic/DeArmond Replacement: The DeArmond Mount is a direct drop in replacement for guitars with Vintage DeArmonds, Dynasonics, and most other DeArmond 2000 style pickups.
Gretsch G6128TDS 2020 and newer: The pickups in this guitar are not the same size (height) as Vintage DeArmonds or older DynaSonics. TV Jones T-Armond pickups will not fit this guitar.
Filter'Tron Replacement: If you like the T-Armond sound but want to fit it into a Filter'Tron cavity, take a look at our No Ears and English Mount mount. Replacing Filter'Tron-style pickups with DeArmond Mount pickups is not optimal.
Mounting Screws: DeArmond Mounting screws are sold separately because most people use the ones already on their guitar. If you need new or extra screws, you can find Dearmond Mount screws in our hardware section.
