The Guild Guitar Company was first created in New York, and has come a long way since then. Now, it is owned by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, but still manufactures its own unique models that are used and loved by guitarists worldwide. Guild instruments were initially mostly solid wood body electric guitars. Archtop acoustic guitars also became popular, and by the 50s and 60s, the company had gained a good, solid reputation. Popular bands and artosts such as Steve Miller, Eric Clapton and George Strait became known for using Guild electric and acoustic guitars, even in concerts.
