Guild on Musician's Friend...

[danerectal]

Try searching "Guild" on Musician's Friend. At first it looks like a good sign as you're delivered to a hompage-esque map. There's a brief bit about the brand, and then there are a few featured items under three categories. One can then refine the search by GAD, Contemporary, and Traditional. This looks great. One might even say there's a hint of support. Then it hits, they have two American Guild Drednaughts, the DV-4 and the DV-6; plus the "F-styles." Everything else is gone. No D-40, no D-55... Just a Richie Havens in the clearance. I don't know what to expect. :shock:

Moving the factory and tooling up in Ct would take some time, and it wouldn't take long for the pipeline to dry up. Probably there's a good supply of those models. With the economy being as shaky as it is, it wouldn't surprise me if Guild wasn't cranking out more of the less expensive models as opposed to the high end.

I did some more poking around. It seems the rest are all there, it just takes some pointed searching.
