Fair enough. And, indeed, repairs were being done in Nashville for a while during New Hartford. However, to blur the lines even more, there were a few Tacoma guitars built special for some dealers at (I think) the 2008 Winter NAMM show that had special cocobolo headstock faceplates. Those faceplates (and perhaps more than just those) were built in Nashville.Pretty sure Nashville was actually closed as a construction facility during Corona period.
I don't think we ever got a definitive answer about when that happened, even from Hans who commented in the first thread linked below.
Definitely recall seeing at least one Custom Shop Bluesbird from there, labeled Nashville Custom Shop, but not sure of date, wonder if TXbumper would remember?
It was a repair facility until sometime during New Hartford tenure, 2011 or 2012.
TwoCorgi's D50 was one of the last guitars to get repaired there.

Edit: Aha!
Hans says it stopped being the Custom Shop coincidental with the move to Corona, post 15 here:

But, all that said, New Hartford won their case with Fender HQ to do Guild repairs and restoration in New Hartford. I wonder how CMG will handle that now.
