Given the discussion about Guild possibly building electrics again and reestablishing the wider archtop line and the long thread about Fender, I'm wondering if folks on here really want to see this happen under Fender.
My thought is that if they don't do it absolutely right on the instrument side, and with a full marketing committment, that I'd rather they not bother reintroducing the archtops and other electrics. At the same time, I hope Guild always make Artist Awards, etc.
I can't see Fender doing this at all (because of competition from Gibson at the USA-build price points) unless they're Guilds built in Asia. And I don't want that, don't want to see Guild get Gretsched.
