Today I got a 1965 Targ & Dinner catalog and stumbled on this. Did we know about this? There are other models that match Guilds, too.

Heh, I have the 100J pictured. I knew about Sonola accordions being imported by Guild, and I knew that Guild branded some amps Sonola, but I haven't seen an ad for them before! Saved!

Could that amp be made by Ampeg? Some similarities...
No. These are all Guild amps (Guild designed, Guild built, etc.) branded for the accordion market. They are the same models as the corresponding Guild amp, just with the Sonola badge.

And this explains why Guild had a Stereo amplifier before it made a stereo guitar.

Although, did Guild ever release the RC-20 reverb unit with a Guild badge?

Yes...Guild RC-20's were made with Guild logo and S/N sticker like used in a guitar. I had one years ago with speaker clips and heat sink attenuator on input to the reverb pan.

Another interesting feature that was discussed a long time ago was Sonola badged amps have Guild labled serial number stickers!
