Pick up a guitar, play it, like it, buy it. That is all one really needs to know. Marketing buzzwords abound. Made like Westerleys? Which ones, the lightly built early 70s tone monsters, or a decade later when they had about a pound and a half added. Along the way someone noticed a pile of scrapwood Adi spruce end cuts. Hey, lets make braces out of them and tack on another hundred bucks. How can we make a four thousand dollar guitar into a six thousand dollar guitar? Hey, lets use fifty cents worth of hide glue. Call it the limited edition, limited to how many we can sell. I'll say it again.
Pick up a guitar, play it, like it, buy it. New or old, that is about all you need to know. I have played guitars from only three Guild factories. I owned a Westerly that was horrible, and own one that is magnificent. A friend has a Tacoma F 312 that rocks. I've pretty much quit asking about any spec of any guitar until after I've played it. I can not tell you how many Brazilian rosewood dog D 28s I've played. About one third of all those I've played are really good guitars. So I have no doubt you like your Oxnard guitars. Pay little attention to the buzz words and just enjoy playing it.
