The D55 Traditional Dreadnought
Acoustic-Electric Guitar from Guild has a full-bodied, high-volume body style that was developed with an emphasis on string-to-string
balance, so that treble, mid and bass registers project evenly. Guild has been building dreadnought acoustic guitars since
1963, and their instruments are revered for their value, reliability, tone, responsiveness, outstanding projection and sustain.
The result is one of the most musically versatile dreadnoughts anywhere.
Guild's flagship model, the D55 dreadnought
guitar, was introduced in 1968 as a special order-only item, but the response was so strong that within a few years it became
a regular production model. The D55 acoustic guitar is prized by players worldwide, from George Strait to Johnny Rzeznik (Goo
Goo Dolls). This model features a spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a three-piece mahogany neck, ebony bridge and fingerboard
with mother of pearl and abalone block position inlays, and "G"-shield logo. The D-TAR® Wave-Length™/Load and Lock
pickup system makes amplifying this baby a plug-n-play cinch!
