Can some help me date my Guild jf65-12 BLK....I've been going thru all the online serial number boards and they cut out before my SN comes up. It;s a JF65-12 BLK - Black color. SN is JF650329...Made in USA with the Guild corp Westerly RI sticker containing the info. I've traced the serial numbers close to 2002 via other SN tables but they stop short of mine. I'm thinking based upon conversation above that mentioned westerly kept shipping up to November of 2001. In the case is the Guild manual with a date of Fender 2002. I'm wondering if the remaining stock of Westerly got moved to Coruna and they popped in a newer manual before shipping out? does that make sense? Anyway any help would be appreciated.
Update - found Feb 24 1987 date on neck block....but 2002 manual mystifies me. Could the neck be super old compared to the final guitar?
Update 2 - found another site where a tech was fixing a 1987. He showed the inside sticker and it was the same as mine with the SN the same format, 108 lower than mine. So I definitely have a 1987 but very strange I have a Guild manual copyright Fender 2002 in the case candy.
