Fender had apparently applied for patents on this system, but they weren’t granted. It’s based on traditional acoustic shapes, but the neck joint uses a graphite neck block and bolt system. This is a 2006 – 2008 Guild Tacoma CV-1 Acoustic, and it has unique features. Finally, at least so far, after Fender purchased the Kaman Music Corporation, Guild production moved back east to New Hartford, Connecticut. Production moved briefly to Corona, California, and then in 2004, to Tacoma, Washington – after Fender bought what was left of the Tacoma Guitar company. Guild started to struggle in the 1970’s and 1980’s, and in 2005 was sold to Fender. Guild was originally formed around 1952 in New York, quickly moved to Hoboken, New Jersey and in 1966 with the sale of the company to Avnet, moved to Westerly, Rhode Island. Here’s a bit of North American guitar history.
