I love the fact that these are made in Oxnard just across the bridge from my home!
And just up the highway and over the Camarillo grade from my childhood home in Thousand Oaks. All in Ventura County and some of the best scenic land in the world. Not Oxnard, itself, but Port Hueneme and Ventura and Camarillo. Such a beautiful spot on earth!! :encouragement:I love the fact that these are made in Oxnard just across the bridge from my home!
???The other one from another local shop had the action set too low for me and I suspect it was done in house at the shop. Low E was 4/32 at 12th fret.

That's about a 32nd higher than Guild's last published action spec of 5.5-6/64 on bass E.
Been there, done that, just wanted to be sure.My bad. It was 4/64 not 4/32.
Plus one. That's a great model!One thing I'd love to see is an updated version of the F65ce with a wider nut, current electronics, and possibly some of the old colors that we enjoyed in the past. I'd think they'd probably sell very well.
Definitely give the D'addario Nickel Bronze's a chance. I've tried 80/20, PB, and to me these sound the best. My other guitars all have Elixir 80/20 but for the M20 I use the Nickel Bronze Lights. Of course YMMV
Confirmed. The Oxnard M-20 is 1-3/4 nut.
Did you get the bridge pins? What’s your experience with them if you did?Thanks. I just ordered the same ones!

photos? On both? interested in seeing how the snakewood looks on the M20. trying to find tuner buttons that would fit to replace the plastic ivory ones.I love them. Don't laugh though -- they ended up on my Martin D28 and I put a set of Waverly snakewood pins on the M20 -- and they look fantastic!
My bad. It was 4/64 not 4/32. I like my low E action at 5 to 5.5/64 at 12th fret.
Just got around to trying the Nickel Bronze by cashing in my D'Addario players points. I am really liking the NB's. I used to use the GHS White Bronze and Pearse pure nickels when I used old magnetic style pickups for acoustic. After I switched to K&K's I went to PB strings and did not use Nickel type strings for a long time and favored the strong mids that PB brought out. I didn't think I would stray from PB but lo and behold here I am with a nickel type strings again bringing more definition with the Oxnard M20. They started out a little bright but have settled in well. I have read the NB's are nickel plated bronze strings vs pure nickel or monel wraps. Slight decrease in volume and mids but they sound great.Definitely give the D'addario Nickel Bronze's a chance. I've tried 80/20, PB, and to me these sound the best.
