Product information

The D-55, first introduced as a top-of-the-line, special-order model in 1968, was so well received that Guild added it to the regular production line in 1974. Famously played by Tommy Smothers on The Smothers Brothers Show in the 1960s, it gained popularity and longevity over the decades and found its home in the hands of more contemporary artists such as Waylon Jennings, Billie Joe Armstrong and David Nail. The most anticipated return of a Guild acoustic yet, 2017's D-55 is back and better than ever. The D-55 remains faithful to all of the premium features of its 1968 predecessor, including a AAA Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood bottom and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and nitrocellulose finish. Internal refinements include serrated Adirondack bracing and an improved dove tail neck connection, making this generation of the D-55 the lightest, loudest and best-sounding yet.
This model is also equipped with an LR Baggs pickup .
