I'm trying to determine the exact model. Looks to me like an M-??. Year?? The serial nuber is 1C010109583. I've never seen a DeArmond in this color. It's a creamy orange color. The photos almost get it but not quite. Also wondering if 'mindbender' is original. Any help is appreciated.

This about the most I would give for a solid body DeArmond. I've played 8 or 9 guitars very similar to it and this one plays way better and is in much better shape than ANY of the others.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 8:56 pm:    That "Mind BENDER" is that similar to the "B bender"? BTW, I think that it's a gotspe that Fender dared to rebaptize DeArmond models "Squier". Certainly on the old cherry red jazz boxes that ugly S-tailpiece does NOT contribute to the desirability of the guitars. It's tasteless.

Is the 'B bender' a DeArmond also? and what's a "gotspe"?   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 9:19 pm:    chutzpah or hutzpa, audacity. I thought I could use our orthography, because it's actually Yiddish. Hehe... wrong...

Ya learn something everyday;)   Ibanezkid Username: Ibanezkid Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 9:52 am:    Mortatort,the B bender was invented by Clarence White and Gene Parsons in the 60s to act as a ''Third hand''for country guitar styles.Fender now markets the B bender on some telecasters.
