GC F-30 Year?

[jedzep]

In it's classic 'we offer no useful info' style, this GC F-30 looks to have the pre-70, Hoboken style bridge, but I can't guess about when it was built.
Any guesses?

This is most likely a 2014-2015 New Hartford CT build. They started putting the “G” logo under the Guild logo on the headstock just about that time on the F30s.

They also used the plain G logo on the F-30s built in Tacoma in 2006-08. But the one at GC is a NH build from 2010.

And call me crazy, but I swear there must be a Guild gremlin out there turning TRCs upside down, just to annoy LTG members.
So many listings show that now days.

...the one at GC is a NH build from 2010.

NH closed end of May 2014, so definitely not 2015.
GG, how do you date her as 2010? Did you ask them for the serial number?

The old style bridge is what threw me.

I've sent the question about a factory number, but I never expect the GC staff to answer.

Call the store & ask someone to get the guitar in hand. When I was actively buying, I got a lot of useful info that way from GC staff. Right off the bat, this would also answer the most important question: Do they actually have the guitar in their store & can they find it!

And be terrified if they're shipping it to you.
