Oh yeah, here's another "Color corroborator" for that period: I'd even put all my chips on no later than 3rd q. I'd feel very confident betting your guitar can't be later than a 1st quarter '03 and probably not even that. (And was continued in Tacoma, in 'burst and Natural only, read between those lines). I can only recall seeing Sunburst and Natural on the later ones, especially 12-ers.Ĭorona was already being ramped down (models being discontinued but no announcement of the acquisition of Tacoma Guitar Company) by mid '04 and shut down in "late" '04 ( Fender moved GUild Production to Tacoma where production started in '05) so it's really a small window of construction anyway, but I did check this morning and see that the F412 was made during all production years. In any case I only recall seeing that finish color on first year and maybe second year ('03, as in Corona D25's which also sported various colors) Corona acoustics.

If you want more than history and speculation making the effort to upload pictures is your best bet.Ĭlick to expand.Yep, too bad, but that's what they were supposed to do.I was kind of doubtful at first myself, but Ralf's one of maybe 2 or 3 guys here whose input I consider as credible as Hans', so I thought maybe he knew something I hadn't seen. New Hartford didn't do much headstock stamping and non-cosmetic flaws usually went to a bandsaw although there are some cases where the bandsaw was actually an employee's home where an instrument was privately refurbished. I can imagine an instrument not getting a label and getting stamped USED although I don't recall an example of when that was actually done.

New Hartford Guilds only had a the serial on a label. The label being missing is not typical of MIRC. Typically MIRC obscured an existing label/serial number with a hard to remove sticker with a MIRC assigned serial number. In the late '00's some instruments were sold through MIRC which refurbished, marked and resold. (Note that I am deliberately not saying "second" or "B-stock" because people assign different meanings to the terms and confusion has resulted). We are all musicians here at YMM and we know what musicians want when it comes to a store.How an instrument that did not meet factory specs but was released to the market anyway is marked depends upon when it happened. So we make a point to accommodate anyone who approaches us.
