JUst as a matter of interest, here's a guitar advertised on Facebook Marketplace. I've seen Epiphone attempts to copy Strats. It appears that Fender's done a bit of the same game with this SG clone.

Apparently it was more a copy of a DeArmond S-73, when Fender owned Guild Attachments:

You might be right, John. I've never seen that model of Guild before, but when I see both guitars, I immediately think SG.

I have seen that Guild before- it is really peculiar to see a Squier copying a Guild (which does look a lot like an SG)

It is definitely taking after the Guild.
And that's what I thought first--and then remembered that Fender used to own Guild.
Ever play one?
Comfy.

No Squier modeling after guild is weird to see! |

Considering the stink that Fender and Gibson made over other brands copying and cloning their designs, it seems a bit hypocritical for Squier, controlled by Fender, to be producing a copy of a Guild.
