Introduced in 1968, the flagship model D-55 is one of the most musically versatile dreadnought guitars available. The D-55 is prized by players worldwide for its rich, balanced sound, outstanding playability, and elegant cosmetic appointments. The distinctive nitrocellulose lacquer finish is a hallmark of this instrument and its tone can be heard on countless hit recordings of our time.Specs

Incredibly Rich & Balanced Tone
I have been playing and collecting guitars for over 25 years, and the Guild D55 is without a doubt finest dreadnought I've ever owned. The D55 I have is a 1994 sunburst model made in Westerly, RI, prior to the Fender buyout of Guild. The tone of this instrument is incredibly full and balanced. I also own a 2006 Guild F50 that was built in Tacoma, WA. While the F50 is louder and bassier than the D55, it lacks the balanced mids and treble that enable the D55 to really cut through the mix when played with other instruments. I have previously owned a Taylor 414CE Koa, a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe, and a Gibson J45 Custom. While each of these guitars is well built and beautiful in its own right, none has the rich, mellow tone of the Guild D55.
