Description
Step inside the Guild USA factory in Ventura County, California and see how our guitars are built today.
From rough-milling necks and preparing fretboards to hand-fitting neck joints, applying custom finishes, buffing, final assembly, and setup, this video follows the journey of a Guild guitar from raw materials to finished instrument.
Featured throughout the process are some of our most iconic USA-made* models, including the F-512 12-string, M-20, and D-55. Every guitar is strung with DR Dragon Skin+ strings, receives a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity, and is carefully prepared before heading off to its new home.
Whether you're a longtime Guild player or discovering our USA craftsmanship for the first time, this is a look at where tradition, precision, and passion come together every day.
