Guild D-55
Product information "Guild D-55"
Guild D 55 natural gloss Dreadnought guitar
Guild´s Flagship model, the D55 was first introduced in 1968 as a special order item only, but the response was so strong that within a few years it was added to the line as a regular production model. The D55 is prized by players worldwide - from John Renbourn to the Barenaked Ladies. This model features a Spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a 3-piece mahogany neck, ebony bridge and fretboard with Mother-of-Pearl and Abalone block position inlays, and G-shiled logo. Available in natural and antique burst finishes.
Includes case.
Guild have been building dreadnought acoustic guitars since 1963, and these instruments are revered for their value, reliability, tone, responsiveness, outstanding projection and sustain. This full-bodied, high-volume body style was developed with an emphasis on string-to-string balance, so that treble, mid and bass registers project evenly. The result is one of the most musically versatile dreadnoughts anywhere.
All of Guild´s dreadnoughts are 15-3/4 " wide and feature all solid woods. All employ Guild´s time-proven "X" bracing pattern. Guild´s hand-shaped dreadnought necks measure 1-11/16 " width at the nut with a 25-5/8" scale length and are equipped with Grover Rotomatic tuners.
