OM Sized Guild USA Rosewood?

My 1973 F-30R, from the initial year of production. As mentioned, small-jumbo shape unlike Paul Simon’s guitar - but it often gets incorrectly referred to as the Paul Simon model. Ebony board & bridge.

Currently there is no US made OM size model offered by Guild.
But there are the New Hartford made Orpheum Orchestra models, the F-30R Standard and F-30RCE from before 2014, the GSR F-30R. There wasn't really a F-30R production model made during Corona and Tacoma times as far as I know. Before 2001 they were made in Westerly and some in the Custom shop in Nashville. The first F-30 Rosewood appeared about 1967 made for Paul Simon and became a production model in 1973.

That Simon guy is a pretty good picker!
