Happened to stop in the Boston Guitar Center and saw a few brand new Guilds hanging there - in a central location even! A SFII, a SFIV, and 2 T-Birds. I didn't have tome to get to the acoustic room, but that's the first time I've seen newly built Guilds in Guitar Center.

Also had a '63 S-50 Jet Star that was very beat up and covered in dust - asking $1,359! Yikes!

I stopped in a GC in Philly suburb for strings a month ago and no luck seeing electric or acoustic Guilds. I was also suprised at the low-end quality of the equipment that was in display. It may have been 10 years since I last went to that particular GC and it has really went down hill. The sales folks and manager were very nice and tried to be helpful.
I have to check out another store to see if they are also in decline. Actually the next time I drive to FL to visit my son I'll make a point to check a number if them out along I95.
