Most of you know my stance on the senseless and confusing renaming and renumbering that has gone under Cordoba’s ownership. (And if you didn’t, you should from that.) Well, imagine my consternation and glee when I saw this Instagram post from Guild. THEY can’t even get it right!
(FYI, the F-20 is now the M-40)

Me thinks the key word is “ownership”. It’s not a stewardship, so they can do what they want with the naming/numbering sequences. I wouldn’t get my panties in a bunch over it, frankly there are bigger fish to fry these days. I would say just enjoy your guitar and name it whatever floats your boat...once you own it you can call it whatever you like. And regarding the Instagram post, I once made a mysstake typing too.

I rename all my Guild acoustics as soon as they get to my house.

Cordoba is not the first owner to muck with Guild product names. Not even the second. Or third. :)

What ever they want to call a guitar is what it will be, doesn't mean its's right to the all knowing.

So in accordance with their wishes and now just innocently asking (see this sincere smile 🙂) please tell me what that means.
F-20 means what exactly? F is a size or shape or.... and 20 is wood type?
M-20 means what exactly? M is a size or shape or.... and 20 is a wood type?

According to them, anyway.......

Oh, please let Al see this thread when he comes back. :LOL:

And for the record, I refer to my F-512 Maple as my F-412 because that's what it is, dammit. :giggle:
