There you go, Ralf. I never knew that. Indeed, the truncated Chesterfield and Guild-shaped pickguard definitely drive the point home.
Unless Hans writes about it, it never happened. ;)

Have no plans to write about it, but I can tell you that the A-10/12 was part of the Madeira line during the late '80s /early '90s.
It retailed for Can. $ 349.00 during 1989, so the price in U.S. dollars would have been a little less than that.
Sincerely,

If that was a 12 string, it would be identical. I'm in the process of adding some pictures right now. Thanks everyone for the help. I though 90ish was a bit too recent too, but the sticker, headstock logos, everything is spot on.I found in "Guitar Stories Vol. 2 by Michael Wrigh" on page 66: "In 1989 Guild was purchased by the Faas Corporation of New Berlin, Wisconsin, later called U.S.Musical Corporation...the new owners...did revive the Madeira name in about 1990 or so with a series of imported electric and acoustic guitars....These had the old Chesterfield inlay..."
The following picture (guitar owned by Ted Hechtman here) was discussed previously on LTG, it seems to be such a early 90ties guitar, in this case a A-5 model with S/N 89091760. (with a D or 0 sign before)

Thank you sir. I've been trying to find this info since the guitar came into my possesion.Have no plans to write about it, but I can tell you that the A-10/12 was part of the Madeira line during the late '80s /early '90s.
It retailed for Can. $ 349.00 during 1989, so the price in U.S. dollars would have been a little less than that.

It's a bit worse for wear, but in my defense, it was like this when my uncle gave it to me 6+ years ago. lol But here she is....
Welcome, Wes. And thanks to my fellow LTGers for helping Wes with his questions.

I just received a Madeira A-12AS S/N 567355 as a gift....I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me learn about this guitar
Hello Dslack,
Welcome! The Madeira model A-12AS was offered (roughly) between 1981 and 1985. It had mahogany back & sides and it was one of the very few Madeira models that had a solid spruce top. The list price at that time was $ 369.50.
