Having been the instigator of some stern chastising myself recently, I just want to applaud all of you guys for not resorting to rude insults and keepin' it pretty darn civil and "on the rails" and especially you GJM for even retracting what you realized may have been an unfair observation.
Another possibilty regarding the "availability" issue may simply be due to the timing of when the information was obtained, when it was relayed to the customer, and how long it took the order to actually be placed by the dealer.
30 guitars, 14 spoken for, how long does it take for the other 16 to be ordered? I could see that happening in a couple of days.
@Kbob: If you didn't realize it, Guild's entire production has been estimated at around 5000 units per year by one of our members with reasonable info to base that estimate on (Fender still aint talkin'). So it's unfair to try to compare Martin and Guild based on availability. You could turn that around and say Martin's making so many guitars they can't possibly pay as much attention to each individual guitar as Guild does, and in fact, that was one element in my decison to go with Guild w-a-a-y back in '96.
Whatever you decide to do, at least know we're trying to give you all the info you should know to make the best decision, and the best info about Guild is found right here.
