Next to the prototype the rarest of the rare is owned by our txbumper, he owns the only one made Rosewood Sunburst!.... The second place regarding rare Orpheums... Third place is the Mahogany Sunburst...
The Guild knowledge gathered at this site never ceases to amaze me, but lately that has just gone well beyond amazing! Thanks, SFIV!

Canada .... brrr
Interesting. The label in mine explicitly says OOO. But these terms are foreign to Guild anyway, so it doesn't really matter. In any case, I hope you enjoy it, highwayman!!!
Congrats on the new addition. As for size Guild didn't really specify one for these models and mine just says "slothead" on the label. The 14 fret model was called "orchestra" so I go with chazmo and say it's 000 whereas the orchestra is maybe the 0M equivalent.

Guild wasn't really clear in the specs. They gave both descriptions Orchestra and OOO in one and the same spec sheet (here the hog SB example):

Now in the pricelists they called them "Orpheum® 000 SHS 12-String". So all consistent Guild...

And only 3 of 12 labels that I have seen had OOO written on the label.

Probably made in Westerly

What are you talking about? A 2014 Orpheum would have been made in New Hartford. Were you talking about the F-312 in which case only Hans will have the definite answer as to whether it was made in Hoboken or made in Westerly.

Yes, he's talking about his F-312 which the few posts before explained.

Yes I meant the F312 of course. . I just mentioned the fact that it was a Hoboken label but was aware of the reason.

Hi Ralf, Thanks for claryfing this. This is of course a contradiction on the Guild side, but nothing dramatic.

The second place regarding rare Orpheums goes to our own Toni, she owns 1 of only 2 built Mahogany Natural top. The second of the two also lives in Germany but Toni's has the most beautiful mahogany wood used!

Third place is the Mahogany Sunburst where 3 exist (mine and another one in Germany, the 3rd is in the US with musician Shane Alexander).

The mahogany wood on the back together with the sunburst gives a beatiful color on my one, here in a close-up shot:
