SFIV1967 said:The "Orpheum" series is a new series to be introduced at NAMM 2013 this week. There is no history about them at Guild in the past.
There's something that FMIC doesn't know about Guild history:
Here's a photo of an early '50s Guild headstock and next to it a photo of an Orpheum-brand guitar headstock that was obviously made by Guild. You can see where they removed the headstock inlays, filled up the cavities and sprayed the face of the headstock black. It probably took some time before the old Guild trademarks became visible again.
Sincerely,
