It has the same basic body outline and the same scale length. Apart from that, they're about as different as it gets - the classic 50's/early 60's spec is a featherweight mini-hollowbody, the DeArmond is a very heavy solidbody.How does it compare to a "real" M75?
Maybe you're looking at an M-75T, @c70man? The M-75 had a harp tailpiece and the M-75T has a DeArmond-branded Bigsby (Digsby) vibrato tailpiece. I have a couple of each. They're nice well-built guitars.
