Guild D-55
Overview
The Guild D-55 is a legendary jumbo dreadnought acoustic guitar prized for its massive, room-filling sound and ornate appointments, designed for players who want commanding acoustic power and visual elegance. It features a solid Sitka spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides, a one-piece mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 20 frets and pearl block inlays. The oversized dreadnought body and Guild's proprietary arched back design produce a huge, full-frequency tone with thunderous bass, warm midrange, and shimmering trebles that project with impressive authority. The arched back increases internal air volume, contributing to the guitar's legendary sustain and three-dimensional sound. Abalone trim, mother-of-pearl headstock inlay, and a tortoiseshell pickguard give the D-55 a distinctive, classic appearance. Build quality is meticulous, with hand-scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, bone nut and saddle, and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This guitar is ideal for professional performers, flatpickers, and bluegrass players who need an acoustic guitar that can fill a venue. The substantial size and premium price make it less practical as a casual or travel instrument.
