With the D-55, the traditional Guild manufacturer presents a successful classic with modern features. In 1968 the D-55 was presented for the first time as a top class special model and has enjoyed growing popularity ever since. Accordingly, this all-massive Dreadnought in classic style has an "AAA" Sitka spruce top, an Indian Palisander body, a fingerboard and bridge made of ebony and a wafer-thin nitro finish.
Internal refinements include the scalloped Adirondack bracing, as well as an improved dovetail neck joint that was handcrafted to make this generation of the D-55 the lightest, loudest and best sounding.
In addition, a compensated bridge insert made of bone ensures optimum resonance transmission and a flat string position, while gold-plated Gotoh SE700 tuners keep the tuning clean.
The Guild D-55 is also suitable for the stage thanks to its L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup system, which reproduces the outstanding sound of the guitar with natural dynamics and harmonic balance. Last but not least, a case is already included in the scope of delivery.
A large and filled, fully sound. Eighter it is my too soft fingersets or it is bad strings. It’s a very noicy sound. Very much sound and it is for me a little bit hard to to get out a balanced sound. I’ll Try to change strings and develop and soften my picking and strumming. And tighter my fingersets. Hope it will be better.
Kindest regards
