(no one has ever heard of them much even now) which came from the Matsumoku factory. The gold foil Dearmonds like she has are a little darker and more laid back, each has its own strengths.Personally, my very first guitar in 1967 was an old Japanese Howard Byrdland copy.
I have heard her play some scary sounding stuff! Those pickups are similar internally but are missing a pretty big chunk of steel inside like the Teisco used in the cooder caster model so the Teiscos are actually fatter and clearer at the same time with more sparkle on the high end. The pattern in the gold foil is done with a press plate that was engraved with the pattern on a laser cutter, put your foil between a positive and negative plate and it will emboss just like the original material. I know alot of people havent figured this out because its been told to me many times so here is a tip for repairing these- I use to make the rivets with a piece of brass tubing cut slightly longer than the thickness of the assembly and would just center punch the ends to flair them over and then you tap the ends flat with a smooth face hammer or press but for the teisco I had actual rivets made with one closed end. I dont like repairing that Dearmond model- the bottom of the "bobbin" is just the steel plate and its covered with enamel paint so the coil doesnt short out and there is no room for error- fussy little buggers to work on.
