Guild D-55 Acoustic Guitar - Antique Burst - Inc Case

Guild D-55 Acoustic Guitar - Antique Burst - Inc Case

We’ve been building dreadnought acoustic guitars since 1963, and our instruments are revered for their value, reliability, tone, responsiveness, outstanding projection and sustain.

This full-bodied, high-volume body style was developed with an emphasis on string-to-string balance, so that treble, mid and bass registers project evenly. The result is one of the most musically versatile dreadnoughts anywhere.

Our flagship model, the D-55, was introduced in 1968 as a special order-only item, but the response was so strong that within a few years it became a regular production model.

The D-55 is prized by players worldwide, from George Strait to Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls). This model features a spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a three-piece mahogany neck, ebony bridge and fingerboard with mother of pearl and abalone block position inlays, “G”-shield logo.

A serious piece of kit from Guild USA.
