This is a Korean-made DeArmond Pilot 5 in near mint condition. I acquired it through a trade with my friend and fellow TBer LarryK (great guy and a swell dancer). Turns out I have little if any need for it so she's back up on the block.
Here's what I know about it:
*Ash or alder (?) body
*Bolt on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 35" scale
*Active J/J pups with three band preamp
*Dunlop straplocks installed by yours truly
*Weight 9.5 - 10 lbs
*Truss rod cover - none...but who cares?
What can I say? Its a nice looking instrument with a nice wide neck for people who like that sort of thing. I personally set her up so the action is comfortably low without fret buzz. She'd make a great first 5 banger or back-up. The quality is surprisingly good for a midrange priced MIK instrument. The Pilot is $240 shipped....and for that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn fish!
Thanks for looking.
