Updated Factory Chart

Does this look accurate?


Every detail can't be added so let's keep it simple. This is for US-made Guild guitars showing the owner and the factories.

Looks fine for general purposes.

Interesting that Fender had the longest ownership run - Never thought about that before!

GAD, you should change the divider between Tacoma and New Hartford to 2009. There were no production NH guitars built in 2008, only D-55 prototypes... And Tacoma didn't get shuttered until the very end of 2008.

I think there should be some reference to the Nashville Custom Shop. There were guitars produced out of that facility that were not just custom orders, such as special runs of Peregrine Custom Shop guitars.

I was actually thinking about that when I pulled up the original.

Any ideas when it started/ended?

Also, Westerly was in production for the majority of'01 and didn't really shutter until 12/28/01, so that demarker at end of Westerly should be '01 and Corona should be '02.

Not sure exactly when it started (probably 1997-98), but pretty sure it ended in 2001. I know it remained thereafter as a repair facility, but I believe they stopped producing guitars in Nashville when the factory moved to Corona. Corona had its own Custom Shop.
