Hi - my name is Dietmar and I come from Germany.
Today I found that great Forum as I searched at google.de for any Information about Guild-Guitars. Till last week I played only Takamine-guitars (so somebody gave me my Nickname...) Last week I bought a unused (new) Guild JF-30, which was manufactured on MAR 15 2000 in Rhode Island (serial: AJ301125). I got it from a shop here in Germany. It was a pure chance... I was in the shop to look around, got the Guitar to test and so I must have it... The owners of the shop are specialists for vintage american guitars. As they heared, that Guild would be no longer Guild, they bougt some of the last guitars from the Rhode-Island factory.
So - the reason for my posting is as follows. I search for any tests, books, flyers and so on for the Guild JF-30 and the year 2000 in which my guitar was build. I want to know, how they made it in the year 2000 and what happens to Guild-Guitars after 2000. The quality and so on...
Also very interested in the differences between the "old" JF-30 and the new GAD-JF-30 "by Fender"
Best regards - Dietmar
Hope my english ist understandable - it is a long time ago, I learned it...
