From what I understand, when Ren Ferguson took charge in 2016 over Oxnard (VP of manufacturing and R&D), they've redesigned all USA Guild bracing (from D-20 and up to F-512). There are those distinguished "peak" bracings seen near soundhole in F-512 (pics attached).

"THE GUITAR WILL BE IDENTICAL IN PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, BUT IT'LL HAVE THE DNA OF THE LAST GUITAR THAT WERE BUILT IN NEW HARTFORD, AND THOSE WERE THE ORPHEUM SERIES.... THE IDEA IS THAT THOSE GUITARS WILL BE GUITARS THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE OWNED THEM FOR 30 YEARS."
