LTG discussion here. Feel free to join over there.
Dealer listing and specs here.
Picture from that listing:
Specs copied from there.
Note the Guild branding of the bridge and PU, both previously sourced from Hagstrom.
Best guesses are it will be made in Korea.
If this is true then things are going to be very interesting especially if the PU sounds like the original. However there is also speculation that announcing this could be a tease to build up interest in what Guild actually releases at the NAMM show. So it might not be real.
