I wonder what would have happened if Cordoba had purchased Ovation instead of Guild.

Location: Phoenix AZ		It's obviously slanted to promote what Cordoba/Guild is doing. I just wonder what things would have looked like (worse, better or same) had DW bought Guild and Cordoba had bought Ovation. In either case it could have never been what it once was.

Maybe I'm jaded, but for me those damn New Hartford built Guild guitars were some of the best acoustics I've owned and at stupid cheap prices (thank you ALPEP).

Sigh ...

Location: NJ		well...it is what? 4 years? and there are still not many usa built guilds....my guess is they would have wanted to move the factory to CA and few of the craftsman would have moved.
so I bet it would be sorta in the status it is now

Isn't that called "business as usual" ???

Hey, don't get me wrong I wasn't diss'in on DW at all. I just saw that video and wondered what it would look like if every mention of the world Guild was replaced by the name Ovation.

I think DW has done a good job with the eye-candy and putting out guitars that are "visually" appealing. I hope they are moving a ton of them, plus a few onesie-twosie Adamas guitars which look to be pretty nice. I just hope there is a viable audience out there and that DW can figure out how to find it
