Jim: I am not at all working for Guild. But I thought my post 3 above yours gave the answer. That is at least what Mike Lewis told me some time ago. And it makes perfect sense in the FMIC context and looking at what Fender does with the FSR models ( http://www.fender.com/support/articles/fender-special-run-fsr-products/ ) as well as the annual new Fender "custom shop" models (which are limited volume or limited time special models). I have not heard much complaining about those models and how they are not 100% reproductions of a 1950 Tele or 1954 Strat...... can explain to me what exactly Guild is trying to do with the GSR model guitars as they don't look to my eyes to be close reproductions of the famous Guild models that I remember as a young kid especially for the price that Guild wants for them in our current economy.
