Was it a true custom shop like the one at Nashville? Or was it Fender hype? Do items from the Corona custom shop have the same mixed reputation as other Corona items?

This may need some semantic clarification:Darryl Hattenhauer said:So there are no Corona custom shop acoustics?
NO, the Guild custom shop was established in Nashville ca '95-'96, it built only special order and limited run acoustics. It did not move during the Corona. There was a write-up on it in the 1st Guild Gallery, the one with Richie Havens on the cover.Darryl Hattenhauer said:jazzmangione,
So the Guild custom shop was also the Fender custom shop?

Good question. On the Fender 'lectrics it's a decal.Darryl Hattenhauer said:Have any of you other LTGers out there seen any Corona Guilds with a custom shop label?
Guild got its own production area for acoustics in Corona.FNG said:I thought the Fender Custom Shop is in Corona, and they build electrics there when they shifted production from Westerly until they could get a normal production line open.
I thought the Nashvile custom shop was closed after Guild moved to Corona.The real GUILD custom shop was still in Nashville.

No, I meant in the real Custom Shop in Nashville.Darryl Hattenhauer said:In Corona?some custom shop Guilds were made after 2001.
Once the Nashville shop stopped taking custom orders, FMIC would have special custom orders (through artist relations at FMIC) made at whatever facility was producing Guilds at that time.
I'm sure he means Nashville. Never mind I should have finished reading the posts so far.Darryl Hattenhauer said:In Corona?some custom shop Guilds were made after 2001.

So Tacoma had one and Hamer has one?
