OOOOOOHHHHH...... :shock: :lol:fronobulax said:That's only because the Westerly snobs have not figured out where "Avnet" is branded on their guitars.GAD said:but we Guild snobs dislike the Fender brand, inconspicuous though it may be.
It's a decal that apparently was only used in early production, at least on the acoustics. My D40 doesn't have one, for example. I would consider it an authenticating detail, if it was there on a year model which was supposed to have it.guildman63 said:Also, my Corona version does not have a Fender logo on the back of the headstock as others have found.

workedinwesterly said:The custom shop assembled the last of the bluesbirds parts , as well as a few other electric models. Once those parts were used up, the guild electrics were no longer made.....

So, what you're getting in those guitars is westerly made necks and bodies that were assembled and finished in corona...a hybrid, if you will.

Nice try but you will have to wait for that info like everybody else. That is, if it needs to come from me!
