So, if you put them on nice hangers on the wall, are they still at risk? :shock:spiderman said:Cases, cases, cases. Too much risk for me to leave out, mostly my clumsiness crashing around the place. Even gigbags leave me worried.

That makes no sense at all. They don't make Fenders at the New Hartford plant. The tooling is for making Guilds, Ovations, and Hammers. Unless they shipped some Fender tooling in to supplement the Hammer tooling. Annual Hammer production is typically very low.fused said:...
And to satisfy that demand, they have pulled most of the production line folks who were making Guild, to make Fender...until they get caught up.
fused said:What I was told by the shop owner, who sells the Guild line, is that if you "order" a guitar today, you will most likely have to wait a lot longer than usual because Fender is now working on catching on its back orders of "Fender" guitars.
And to satisfy that demand, they have pulled most of the production line folks who were making Guild, to make Fender...until they get caught up.
He has inside contacts to get custom orders but that has been greatly pushed behind due to the above.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Unless there was a mistake about what brand backlog they were catching up on, just to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. But I suspect in reality there's simply some emebllishment going on about the reason for the inability to obtain a case.cjd-player said:That makes no sense at all.

I just realized maybe his connection is talking to a Fender guy who's talking about GAD's and Fender acoustics? Are they made in the same place? One of the first things I noticed about recent Fender acoustics is that they'd converted to the Guild style flat heel on the neck. Didn't bother to look for the country of origin anywhere though.fronobulax said:Let's ignore GADs and hope no one is offended by that.
I'll also note that in many ways Guild and Fender are two separate companies and one thing we have all learned is that when a Fender person talks about Guild the story is not the same as when the Guild person talks about Guild. So your dealer may have been talking to a Fender representative who just made something up to answer the question and keep the dealer happy.
Doc, don't take this wrong but to me that one hanging next to the door is an accident waiting to happen...Innocent party cheerfully opens door with arms full from shopping or whatever...gives it a little extra nudge with the hip....need I say more?Bikerdoc said:The Guilds I got from Joe are neighbors in this room; D25 and D15. The others are hanging around the house as well. But looking at all the other pics you all have shared, I think I need to showcase my wall hangings a bit better.
Peace
Doc, just move it down and over so that the sound hole lines up with the door knob, and it should be fine.adorshki said:

My response to Joe's question about are they in danger if they're on the wall?: Ya just NEVER know... admittedly I may be a little over-protective but then they deserve it, right?
