Is there a Guild custom shop right now? Will there be a Guild custom shop in the future?

What kind of work Ken, and how did you get in contact with them about it?

Hello Ken,
What you're referring to is what used to be the Custom Shop in Nashville. That's the 'national' repair center now. They are no longer the Custom Shop.

Graham,
They only do repairs now and you cannot get in contact with them yourself. It will need to go through an official Guild/Fender dealer.

Hans is right.......sorry about that.....many folks still refer to it as the custom shop I guess.
I can only add that you can only go through a Guild/Fender Dealer or an authorized repair person who may or may not be a dealer. The repair shop in Nashville makes the call as to having an authorized repair person do what is needed in the field or having the repair person send the guitar to them and they do the work.
In my case they wanted to see the guitar first-hand and as I said, they did a great job on the repair. They honored my Westerly original purchaser warantee.

Hello Darryl,
Not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean if Guild will sell it to other luthiers or do you want to know if that color is available from other suppliers?

Whoops. Apologies for being vague.
If I get a project guitar and refinish it, I'd like to refinish it in that Guild emerald green they used in the 1990's (not that old 1960's olive green that often faded). So I'm wondering if the emerald green that Guild used is available for sale at the former custom shop or authorized service centers. If it isn't, then an emerald green is probably available somewhere, but it would probably be different from whatever Guild used.
