Maybe it's a coincidence or maybe someone was listening.

As we've mused about marketing strategies for Guild, some of us commented that Fretboard Journal would be a great place for some visibility if Guild really wants to tap into more of a boutique market (as its pricing suggests). Well, I got a copy of the Fretboard Journal Newsletter in my email today and they preview the Winter issue briefly, with the following teaser:

What's in Winter? Well, without letting the cat completely out of the bag, we have a great pictorial of 1959 Les Paul bursts (we gathered quite a collection of these rare beasts), an incredible, lengthy Bela Fleck interview and a great photo essay of the new Guild Guitars factory. And a whole lot more!

I find this an interesting development that might bode well. At a minimum, it will bring the message of the new Guilds to a wider, highly-engaged audience. It'll be fun to see what they say. Does anyone know who wrote the piece?

I wouldn't count on it West - they might be in short supply once the AGF people finally get the message about what they're missing out on. What's the radius of the D-55 bridge? :D

Actually the "word" is already out, but the Martin & Taylor marketing/availability/reputations are hard ones to pass up for many folks....
