Guys,
Just a quick update to the dilema?
I just got through talking to a Guild dealer here in Tennessee.
We had a very candid conversation so please don’t ask who the retailer was.
Of course, he has no American made D55’s in stock. No surprise there!
His reasons are very valid for not ordering the American made models.
Guild wants (9) guitars per order. (American made)
His market simply cannot support tying up his money for the time it would take to sell those guitars.
He has good turnover with the Chinese models and they move quick enough.
Not so with the American made guitars. He mentioned Guild has a back order problem as well.
BTW, he talked highly of the Fender quality…..not so much Cordoba!
So……….I guess trying one out only leaves one option, Guitar Center.
Order one online and return it if it’s not to my liking.
I’m getting spooked now, Guitar Center is not my go to store!
Anyway, that’s the lates in my Guild saga.
