Yes their are!
These are the NS MiK reissues. I have a Blond one and like it quite a bit. Comes with flat wound strings. I actually have it setup with drop D tuning. I primary play it acoustically. Have been looking to add an acoustic Fishman type pickup to it.
I would not expect it to sound as warm and rich as a high end Stuart.

"X700 Stuart", looked to be the next model down from the AA in '96 at least, with a 24-3/4 scale and 2 built-in SD4 'buckers.Stuart...though that was the name of the vintage Guild archtop but I got the model names mixed up.
So how will you connect it to the amp then? Will you have two connection jacks? Or will you somehow wire one stero jack out?I was looking to ADD an acoustic surface mount pickup on the body (perfer inside mounting) near the bridge to get the acoustic tone.
NS guitar do not appreciate in value and can depreciate by 50% so if buying new confirm return policy.

That's what I play, as well. I think I may do this. You saw all of the ones on GC. Which do you prefer -- if it were you checking them out? Also, I saw this one on Reverb... that can't be true, can it? There are no 2017 Savoys are there? guild-savoy-a-150-2017-antique-sunburst
The one at GC for $749.99 is an early one, and it has virtually no runout on the top. I'd go for that one vs. the other GC sunburst, and I'd for sure pass on the blonde with the top crack. That was caused by the volume knob & pot being pushed into the top. The stock case provides almost no cushion in that area, and therefore, I've seen a lot of them with a similar crack.
Edit: Uh-oh, just checked, and the one on Reverb is being sold AS-IS. Personally, I'd recommend passing on that unless you can play it in person & can also decide right then & there that an archtop is truly for you.
How to connect to amp... probably just remove the bottom strap connection and replace it with a strap-jack gizmo.

How do you date a Guild Savoy A150? The serial number on the one at GC is: KSG 1300556. TIA
How do you date a Guild Savoy A150? The serial number on the one at GC is: KSG 1300556. It is $750. GC Savoy A150 I can have it shipped to my local GC and pick it up, and get 30 days to make sure I want it. OTOH, MF has an "Open Box" A150 for $735 and they'll ship it for free to my doorstep. No idea the serial number, tho I guess I can ask and get it. Guild Savoy - $735 Scratch and Dent This one has a blemish by the pickguard. Hard to tell from the picture if it is a crack or just a scratch in the finish.
The black A-150 at MF has the same crack I mentioned previously as being frequently seen due to poor case protection at the volume control knob. It is not simply a finish issue - it's a crack. The three black A-150s at MF are all "Level-3," and I can tell you that level-3 issues on an MF guitar are significant (such as body & neck cracks). They were most likely all damaged in shipping.
I thought it was sunburst, not black. But in any case, not worth it. I mean, I can ship it back within the 45 days but why pay shipping if I don't have to, eh?
PS: What does "Level 3" mean? And how can you know what level it is?
PP - Indeed, by putting it into your cart, it shows up as a Level-3 used item!EDIT: Actually, now that you say that. I see in the title itself they list it as a scratch and dent:
Open-Box Guild A-150 Savoy Hollowbody Archtop Electric Guitar Condition 3 - Scratch and Dent Antique Burst
PP - Indeed, by putting it into your cart, it shows up as a Level-3 used item!
I would read that to mean that most likely it's got the same volume knob/pot damage as the black ones.
This is a definite example of the more limited info MF is providing these days on their used instruments. The sunburst photos are not of the specific instrument (just the stock item photos), and there are no descriptors of the damage. They used to have a bit of descriptive text, along with pictures with arrows pointing to specific blemished areas!
