Guild Orpheum, does the sound and quality match the mystique?

Bummer. Guess I'm not moving back to the Bay Area... :)
Except all the Guitar Centers there just a few in the Bay Area who also have US made Guilds:

Keith Holland Guitars in Los Gatos:

Berkeley Musical Instrument Exchange in Berkeley:

Bananas At Large in San Raphael:

Are these guitars hyped because of their scarcity or do they live up to their reputation? interesting that they were built in 2014 in NH when in 6/14, production of instruments was abruptly halted by Fender. Though it wasn’t until 2018 that Ren Ferguson left Guild.
I recently placed one for sale on our site here

I own a 14 fret sloped shouldered - mahogany back and sides - Orpheum and it is the best sounding mahogany I have ever played. Don't think you will be disappointed.
Was tempted to buy Mike's and have a 14 fret and 12 fret Orpheum but went with a DV73 rosewood.
