DeArmond Model RHC-B Model Acoustic Guitar Magnetic Pickup (1960s), made in Toledo, Ohio, White Plastic and Chrome finish.
Overall length is 5 1/2 in. (14 cm.), 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm.) width.
This is a cool probably 1960s-era example of DeArmond's "improved" sound hole pickup for flat-top guitars, the RHC-B. The date on the original volume pot is not visible built from the looks of it the pickup was likely made in the mid-1960s. The unit shows some light wear overall (mostly scuffing to the metal and light string marks on the plastic coil cover) but still sounds great. It is currently wired with the original full-length phone plug cord but can be re-wired as needed depending on how it will be used. This pickup was practically ubiquitous in the 1950s and '60s as the primary method of amplifying a flat-top guitar, used famously by Lightnin' Hopkins, Elmore James, Siegel-Schwall and a host of other period blues, folk, and country performers. Excellent - Condition.
