Hi folks,
I was toying with the idea of ordering a custom Guild acoustic, and I did a little research. OK, so the Guild Custom Shop was opened in 1996, and expanded to an 8000 sq ft. facility in 1998 in Nashville. Then things get a little murky. So, what's the story? Is there still a Guild facility in Nashville? I hope I'm not asking a painful question here...
Did FMIC still maintain a separate custom shop once they moved all the Guild production to Corona in 2001? Corona is where Fender has its Custom Shop... Have they *ever* done Guild customs there? And now, since all the domestic acoustic production is in Tacoma since 2006, is there any such thing as a Guild Custom Shop at all. There certainly is no evidence on the web site.
If you look at Fender's Custom Shop, it's all Strats and Teles and I don't see many (well, any) acoustics. Does Fender even make custom acoustics?
