I wonder if that means it will have a skinny 1970s neck profile.

I just played one at my local store here in Austin. It is made in Korea, with gold hardware, the Soundgarden King Animal emblem on the truss rod cover, Kim Thayil's signature, and the Soundgarden circle logo on the back cavity plate.
just curious.

The guitar is made in Indonesia, according to my contact at Cordoba.

Comparing the pic in post #41 and one recently found on-line, it looks like the model may have the original wide-top 70s headstock shape rather than the Newark Street headstock (50s symmetrical style with a hump top). It will be interesting to see what it really is. And if it is the 70s shape, that would be a first for a non-US Guild electric, no?

The left one is a stock picture provided by Guild I believe.

Ah, I didn't notice, but no other stock pictures...So the verdict is still 2:1 for NS headstock.
