Westerly acoustics

Are you sure it is a orignal factory apron? The logo looks wrong to me. Could be a reprint?

Could be, but here's a Westerly worker wearing his apron proudly during the second half of the '90s.

Excellent! So they used that slightly wider looking logo there.

Appearently I bought this version a 2-3 years ago with some other swag, but I don’t remember where I put it. Looks more like a NH era apron.

Score!

Thanks and are the words Guild Guitars on an attached piece of cloth or ??

Definitely a cloth shop apron

What is she wearing that says Guild on it, an apron?

Awesome pic!

Yup- a shop apron. They're popular in some of the departments as they keep glue and other stuff off a worker's clothing.
Since she's gluing kerfing strips, she probably wears one every day.
Many have pockets, which can be very handy for keeping some tools at hand. This is the only one I've ever seen with the company brand on it.
Cool factory swag, for sure!

Abigail Ybarra moonlighting?

If it is, she had a helluva commute!

I love this thread! Are any former/current Guild employees active members here?

None are active, schoolie. Some are around, for sure, but rarely participate these days.
