Thank you Bing, and thanks for the PM. If I were to buy a new Guild, I know where I'd get it.

Bing k said:Great comments by jte as observed by a current retailer. The point "They have to be sold" is valid, but the reputation of the dealer and staff also play a pretty good part in the equation when it comes down to closing the sale. Once a player with any kind of ear strums one the job of selling becomes easier.
The price has gone up. No doubt about it. But talking to inside people I understand why. Fender has got to start making money on the line or it will be gone.
Edit to say, it may have been closer than anyone realizes after conversations over the last few months. There are some things in the works few outside have heard about but show promise from a dealers point of view of products to be introduced and marketing American production.
