Famously played by Tommy Smothers on the Smothers Brothers Show in the 1960s, the D-55 grew in both popularity and longevity over the decades, finding homes in the hands of more contemporary artists like Waylon Jennings, Billie Joe Armstrong, and David Nail. The most anticipated return of a Guild acoustic to date, the 2017 Guild D-55 is back and better than ever. The D-55 remains true to all the premium appointments of its 1968 predecessor, including a AAA Sitka spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and nitrocellulose finish. Internal refinements include scalloped Adirondack bracing as well as an improved dovetail neck-joint, hand fit to make this generation of D-55 the lightest, loudest, and best-sounding yet. The D-55 showcases Guild’s most recognizable headstock which is fully bound and features the Guild “Peak and Shield” inlay combination over a figured ebony overlay. The matching ebony fingerboard is also fully bound and inlayed with Guild’s iconic abalone\/pearl “V-Blocks” and multi-line “railroad track” purfling on the bass and treble sides. The D-55’s fingerboard is set on an all-mahogany neck with beautiful walnut center seam running the length of the heel to headstock. The D-55’s nitro finish is an Antique Burst and is hand sprayed for minimum thickness and maximum resonance that will only get better with age. LR Baggs pickup system included, and each guitar includes a hand-signed certificate of authenticity and ships with Guild’s Premium humidified hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial#:\u003c\/b\u003e C221921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e: 5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: D - Dreadnought\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Top\u003c\/b\u003e: Solid Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Bracing Pattern\u003c\/b\u003e: Scalloped X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoundhole Diameter\u003c\/b\u003e: 4\" (102mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette\u003c\/b\u003e: Abalone and ABS Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Purfling Inlay\u003c\/b\u003e: Black and White ABS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Sides\u003c\/b\u003e: Solid Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Back\u003c\/b\u003e: Solid Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Binding\u003c\/b\u003e: White ABS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Mahogany with a Walnut Center Strip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length\u003c\/b\u003e: 25 5\/8\" (651mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: C Shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width\u003c\/b\u003e: 1 11\/16\" (43mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness 1st Fret\u003c\/b\u003e: 21mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness 9th Fret\u003c\/b\u003e: 22.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod\u003c\/b\u003e: Dual Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Wrench\u003c\/b\u003e: 8mm Socket Wrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\" (305mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlays\u003c\/b\u003e: V-Blocks - Mother-Of-Pearl and Abalone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrets Total\u003c\/b\u003e: 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Type\u003c\/b\u003e: Jescar 43080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor\u003c\/b\u003e: Antique Burst (ATB)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish\u003c\/b\u003e: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge String Spacing\u003c\/b\u003e: 2 1\/8\" (54mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaddle Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish\/Plating\u003c\/b\u003e: Nickel Plated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines\u003c\/b\u003e: Gotoh SE700 Open-Gear in Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndpin\u003c\/b\u003e: Endpin Jack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard\u003c\/b\u003e: Tortoiseshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e: LR Baggs Anthem with Volume, Mix, and Phase Controls\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase\u003c\/b\u003e: Guild Premium Humidified Archtop Wood Case","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40199477887111,"sku":"385-0554-837-C221921-U1","price":3361.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/guild-acoustic-guitars-dreadnought-guild-usa-d-55e-dreadnought-sitka-rosewood-antique-burst-385-0554-837-c221921-30390807560327.jpg?v=1681494054","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/guild-usa-d-55e-dreadnought-sitkarosewood-antique-1363513","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
