You can have the same issue trying to fit routers to router table insert plates. Since you are building guitars you may want to do inlays at some point and to do that you'll need to get and use at least a couple sizes of guide bushings. You can use the guide bushings and the plastic base plate to locate holes that you drill yourself in some cases.

New Bosch Colt GKF125CE Router is Coming Soon
https://toolguyd.com/bosch-colt-gkf125ce-router
"Bosch has confirmed that the previous generation Bosch Colt router bases will NOT work with the new GKF125CE router. An optional plunge base will be available in 2018. As hinted by the early product listing, there’s a user-friendly depth-adjustment system, and it has both inch and metric scales, for greater precision."
Here's a picture of the two bases side by side, and here's a website comparing the two in detail. Comparing the Bosch Colt Router GKF125CE to the Older PR20EVS - A Concord Carpenter
Looks to me like you'll have to abandon your accessories or modify some of them at least. You can always pick up the base pattern by getting an accessory base, or at least by taking a piece of clear plastic sheet to a store, laying it on the new Bosch plate and marking the hole locations. This will give you a pattern you can lay directly on your old base to see if you can adapt it.
