A true classic reborn, the Guild D-55 brings back all the premium features of its legendary 1968 original—elevated for today’s players. It boasts a AAA Sitka spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides for a rich, resonant tone with incredible projection. The sleek ebony fingerboard and bridge, scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, and expertly hand-fit dovetail neck joint make this the most dynamic, lightweight, and sonically powerful D-55 yet. Visually striking, the D-55 features Guild’s iconic bound headstock with a figured ebony overlay and the signature “Peak and Shield” inlay. The fully bound ebony fingerboard is adorned with beautiful abalone/pearl V-block inlays and elegant multi-line railroad track purfling along both sides. The one-piece mahogany neck with a walnut center stripe adds both strength and classic style. Finished in hand-sprayed nitrocellulose for maximum tonal resonance, the D-55 not only sounds phenomenal—it ages beautifully. Includes Guild’s premium humidified hardshell case for top-tier protection.
