Dearmond / 1100 SUPER CHIEF / 1958 / GOLD / Guitar
The most sought-after version of the classic floating pickup, conceived for amplifying acoustic archtop guitars without altering their structure. Unlike the cheaper model 1000 "Rhythm Chief", the 1100 "Super Chief" had adjustable poles for more balanced string output. The rare gold version was the first choice for D'Angelicos, Guilds and all the other best jazz guitars. This pickup works perfectly, it's very poweful (reads 15 kOhm), warm, sweet and musical, and is complete with the even rarer short bracket, gold-plated too, made to fix the unit to the fingerboard extension, a much more elegant solution compared to the longer bracket fixed under the tailpiece. The wire is 20 centimeters long. There is some gold-plating wear and the plastic of the wire shows its age. A very rare find for the classic jazz sound lovers!
