A friend of mine in Italy contacted me about selling his Burnside Blade that he purchased over 20 yrs ago.
I told him that there was little interest here in these Korean made Guilds, when he sent me a photo of the headstock back. It was stamped "Made in USA" with a serial # 00012. I never heard of an American made one. Is it some sort of prototype ? I can't find any information to explain this guitar.

That's interesting and it'd be neat to see pics. There's a decent chance Hans can connect the dots here and hopefully he'll be along before long. I've never seen an American Burnside. Maybe it was an artist endorsement one-off, or one done as a go-by example for the Korean factory? Entering the realm of the truly cockamamie, maybe a Burnside got sent to Guild as a warranty claim after production had ceased and inventory depleted and repairs were made with US parts. If it's a bolt neck, that might be possible, I guess.
