I have been away for quite sometime. I sold my guitars over couple yrs. ago due to health reasons and on the road of return. But when I sold I kept in contact with the new guild folks in California and was going to buy another D-55 when they were up and running. The vice president of Cordoba said right after they were moving New Hartford stuff to calif he hoped to be up and running about 1.5 yrs. from then. That was 2014.may! Well its dec 2017 and they are slowly getting shipments on most guitars but I am waiting for a D-55. Its still very slow. I have one on order from sweetwater and they hope to receive theirs in Jan. I am not very optimistic on that. But can't wait however concern is what kind of quality and workmanship will they have. I hope they are high quality and reliable. They said recently the D-55 they are trying to mimic the D-55 in the westerly models. I assume westerly was a decent build ! What say you guys or what do you know ???
