We Have the Pick Up!

I was able to grab a DeArmond pickup on eBay. I think it's a 210 of the newer ilk (from the late 1960s), based on the lowered B string pole piece (below the plasic cover). It looks like it's been rewired at least once, but quite some time ago.

Last night, I put it in the Harmony guitar and did a quick test, running it through my PA system directly. It has a very nice, meaty and loud sound with a little built-in over drive that sounds nice. I'll need to do some sound tests against a few CDs, but I think we may have close to a good set up.
