Anyone have any idea how many were made in total?
.... cant wait to give this HOSS a run!
That is quite the collection. I hope you will post how they compare once the jumbo arrives.Thanks so much for the kind acceptance!
This is actually my 3rd Orpheum!
They are absolutely World Class.
I've been buying and selling on forums for many years - a kind of an obsession!
I've wanted an Orpheum Jumbo for a long time, cant wait to give this HOSS a run!
Ideas yes, but no exact numbers. It was FMICs policy not to disclose any exact production numbers for Guild. Why? No idea.Anyone have any idea how many were made in total?
No, I'd guess the second lowest production number type after the 12 strings were the 6 string 12 fret slotted headstock models. Those were the 2014 models. The Jumbo was introduced in January 2013 already and we have seen quite a few over time. At least a handfull LTG members have one. Plenty of Jumbos come up in a Google search. If I would have a few hours spare time I would do a spreadsheet and record all links and serial numbers to get to a closer idea. In any case that 50 to 60 in total might be a fair number for the Jumbos in my opinion. Maybe it was not even 50 but definitely in the ballpark.Might be the second most uncommon after the 12 strings.
Maybe I didn't follow up on the quantity of the 6 string slotted headstock model, I had started a quick list in 2016 and only found 15 in total for all 4 versions of the 6 string slotheads. Interesting enough Tundra still shows one: https://reverb.com/p/guild-orpheum-custom-shop-12-fret-slot-head-orchestra-sp-slash-mh-antique-burstI thought that there were quite a lot of the 6 string slotheads produced as I saw many of them on sale through CME and other online sources.
I acquired the one on the AGF.
