Originally introduced in 1968 as a special-order flagship model, the D-55 garnered such acclaim that Guild incorporated it into their regular production line by 1974. Renowned for its appearances on the Smothers Brothers Show, notably played by Tommy Smothers in the late 1960s, the D-55's popularity and endurance have only grown over the years. The 2017 reintroduction of the Guild D-55 marks one of the most eagerly awaited returns of a Guild acoustic guitar to date, promising enhancements that surpass its predecessors.

Staying true to the premium appointments of its 1968 ancestor, the D-55 boasts an AAA Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and a nitrocellulose finish. Internal improvements include scalloped Adirondack bracing and an upgraded dovetail neck joint, meticulously fitted by hand, rendering this generation of D-55 guitars the lightest, loudest, and most sonorous yet.

The D-55 proudly showcases Guild's iconic headstock, fully bound and adorned with the Guild "Peak and Shield" inlay atop a figured ebony overlay. The matching ebony fingerboard is also fully bound, embellished with Guild's renowned abalone/pearl "V-Blocks" and multi-line "railroad track" purfling on both bass and treble sides. The fingerboard rests on an all-mahogany neck with a striking walnut center seam running from the heel to the headstock.

This D-55E has a Antique Burst nitro finish, meticulously hand-sprayed for minimal thickness and optimal resonance that improves with age, this D-55 also offers an LR Baggs pickup system. Each guitar is accompanied by a hand-signed certificate of authenticity and ships in Guild's Premium humidified hardshell case.
