Was it 2001 when Guild moved mfging to CA?

FMIC disrespected years of history shortly after purchasing Guild from US Music... long before the move. Needlesss to say, very little actually made it to/ or stayed in the dumpster.

Lucky for us some people working in or close to the plant had the presence of mind to actually save some of that stuff and I've personally bought quite a few parts from people who told me they had gotten it from the dump. Of course I do not know if what they told me was correct and there's always a chance that they made up that story, so they didn't have to tell me how they really got it.

Hey, I will be the last one who's going to turn them in!

Sincerely,

Under the truss rod cover I find ‘JT’...
I wonder if the guy who did the neck travelled from west to east, or if the partially completed guitar travelled from east to west ???

Hi Kenmore,
JT (a.k.a spider) was a neck fitter and did little, if any, neck shaping. He did not make the move to Corona.

Thanks to everyone for the help. I really appreciate it !!!
