I have heard it from Markus and one other, but mine seems fine.
As for contacting Kim Keller I did, and his reply is that only 25 were made. The label is the last thing to go on before final inspection, and the person doing that may have forgotten what number they were on, and never got back to it after the inspection. That means this is one-of-a-kind, and is therefore more valuable.
Guildman63, thank you for contacting Mr. Keller. The late production date sure stays a mystery but I guess it's possible. I don't see any reason to further go into it as I don't expect any Guild employee to feel comfortable discussing a possible #26. Wouldn't change anything anyway. By the way, nice try to pull my leg, that my guitar is more valuable being one of a kind. A split second I fell for it.
Slapback, thanks for the Bigsby information. It must be the gold that blinds me.
The grounding issue really is an issue. The buzz seems to have gotten louder but that's probably me concentrating on it. I will need to have that fixed by a tech.
The neck has reacted well on the higher tension of the flatwound .012s. As I expected it now has a little more relief, nothing more. I have put .011s Gibson Vintage reissues on it already to avoid the neck beeing exposed to unnecessary stress. The magic is back and it feels good.
I agree with Walter on the hump. For anyone who has a guitar with that hump: Never tighten the truss rod without loosening the strings first. That would surely aggravate the hump.
