Robillard has made more than 40 albums fronting his own band and with Roomful of Blues.

The roots and jazz guitar virtuoso offers insights and guidance on how to make the most of the vintage sound of the companyā€™s enduring RH, FH, and Rhythm Chief pickups.

What do the screaming tone of Elmore Jamesā€™slide guitar, the dirty rumble of early Muddy Waters recordings on Chess, the smooth 6-string voice of Johnny Smith, and the warm melodies of GĆ”bor SzabĆ³ā€™s eclectic repertoire have in common?

Since 1939, DeArmondsā€”in particular the companyā€™s RH (round-hole) and FH (f-hole) models, and the Rhythm Chief 1000 and 1100ā€”have helped define the sound of experimenters and traditionalists, depending on the era.

I never really thought about it before, but I did some research and, in fact, more babies are born in September than in any other month! My birthday is October 6, but according to my dear mom, I was two weeks late (as usual).
