First introduced in 1968 as a special-order, top-of-the-line acoustic guitar, the D-55 was so well received that Guild added it to the regular production line by 1974. Famously played by Tommy Smothers on the The Smothers Brothers Show, the Guild D-55 dreadnought acoustic guitar has become one of the brand’s most iconic models.
The reintroduced 2017 Guild D-55 delivers premium craftsmanship, combining a AAA Sitka spruce top with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, plus an ebony fingerboard and bridge for rich tone and projection. Scalloped Adirondack bracing and a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint enhance resonance, making this professional acoustic guitar lighter, louder, and more responsive. This high-end dreadnought acoustic features Guild’s fully bound “Peak and Shield” headstock with figured ebony overlay, and a bound ebony fingerboard with abalone and pearl V-Block inlays and signature purfling.
The all-mahogany neck with walnut center seam adds strength and visual appeal. Finished in hand-sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer, this USA-made acoustic guitar offers maximum tonal depth and aging potential. Optional L.R. Baggs pickup system available for acoustic-electric performance. Includes hand-signed certificate of authenticity and Guild premium humidified hardshell case.
