well they posted a picture of serial #1 on Facebook, so at least that one is ready to go!
kak,I've been following this whole "new Guilds" thing from the sidelines for quite a while. I'm just going to come out and say it... I'm skeptical of the existence of a market for budget-trimmed, satin-finished all-'hog copies of '60s-'80s models at a $5-600 premium over their readily available vintage counterparts. I just don't see it. "Where are the new Guilds?" The answer is "Who cares, go buy one of the many attractively priced used ones," since there's no bad era to avoid. I have a feeling that, when "where are the new Guilds?" changes to "here are the new Guilds," the answer will remain the same.
Mav, I can't remember, but we discussed this elsewhere. The D-20/F-20 finish is not NCL, but I don't think it was a polyester finish either.Tex what do you mean by "no nitro?" are they poly?
Although I am disappointed to see that they're continuing the current fetish for total pore filling, even on hog guitars. The vintage ones had a much thinner finish with plenty of poreishness. I think this gives them a more alive feel.Mav, I can't remember, but we discussed this elsewhere. The D-20/F-20 finish is not NCL, but I don't think it was a polyester finish either.
Right, not polyester but "catalyzed varnish", I did the original look-up when we found out:Mav, I can't remember, but we discussed this elsewhere. The D-20/F-20 finish is not NCL, but I don't think it was a polyester finish either.

We must have been posting at the same time, you can see my answer now.I know for a fact that it is not Nitro and I don't think it is Poly either. From the video I remember watching it was the easiest satin finish you could apply as Ren was still trying to teach the folks at Oxnard how to do a Gloss Nitro Finish without messing it up.
