Why is the current Guild factory located in Oxnard, CA?

An interesting historical read why the new factory is actually located in Oxnard! I found this article by chance:

Extremely interesting remarks about Jean Larrivée!



The other part is nothing of special interest, so I just copied the part I found interesting.

But there was a nice picture of Ren included from January 2016: (Reaming the bridge pin holes)

I really like Larrivee guitars. The luthier Jean really had a great concept when he started it, his patented bracing pattern and his L series shape acoustics are excellent. I can totally see he and Ren being buds. And their US base of operations was always in Oxnard.
