Speaking of OMs.....

[F30]

I wonder why Guild stopped doing the F30 Standards with the 1 3/4 nut and 25.5 scale length?
It seems the OMs only come in the cutaway now with the exception of the OM 140s which are mostly sunburst but those may be NOS.
Speaking of Sunburst the California burst should be offered on more models. It is really something to See in person.
I wonder why no American built OMs now?
How about an OM 40 and an OM 50 with
1 3/4 nut and 25.5 scale length
And an OM 40 offered in California Burst
...just sayin' ...a guy can dream on his first day of Vacation.

I’ve emailed them about F30 size and 1-3/4 necks a few times. I’m guessing they just don’t think there will be enough demand or don’t want to compete with Martin and Taylor in that space.

There certainly is alot of OMs out there but I sure would like to see a US made Guild OM again.
I found this pic of a Alverez Yairi FYM75 Masterworks while looking at OMs - 25'5 scale, 1 3/4" nut, Cedar top, Rosewood back and sides.

Same here; no response either.

I bought my NH F30 Standard and F30R Standard thinking that NH was going to be the end of the road for Guild Guitars. Glad I bought them when I did.

I was hoping that Cordoba would at the very least do a few limited runs of American built F30 Standards with different woods, inlays, etc.. I think there would be a market for the limited runs regardless of Martin and Taylor.

Me too!! It's difficult to RAVE about F30 Guilds because as a type of guitar they've come in so many different shapes and sizes. But they definitely need an OM sized guitar with some fun trim. And while they're at it, let's have them do F65ce's with 1 3/4 nut width and some fun colors, you know? Just do a run or two and see how they go......

I’d love to see both F30 orchestra and F40 grand orchestra size models with 1-3/4 necks. Don’t need any bling but ebony necks (and bridges) make a big difference to me.

How about an F30 maple archback???
