From Our Research Team:Own An Acoustic Masterpiece!We're pleased to offer you this beautiful D-55 traditional-style dreadnought acoustic guitar. The D-55 reflects nearly half a century of Guild's master craftsmanship, featuring the kind of tonewoods that give you an unrivaled level of expression and melodic character. This D-55's eye-catching solid AAA spruce top reflects a warm and woody brilliance that speaks volumes about its tonal character. A breathtaking bookmatched Indian rosewood back and matching sides add extra aesthetic finesse as well as mellow overtones, while a 12" radius neck and ebony fretboard make the D-55 a pleasure to play.Guild has been building dreadnought acoustic guitars since the early '60s, and their fine products have ever since been revered for their amazingly balanced tones. The little details, such as the scalloped red spruce bracing and mother-of-pearl and abalone block position fret inlays add the kind of finishing touches that make the D-55 stand out as the work of art that it is. And its pure nitrocellulose lacquer finish is guaranteed to age gloriously with your D-55, maturing into continuously richer tonal qualities throughout the years.

I've owned my D-55 for man years now (before Fender bought Guild). I mainly bought it because after playing every major brand on the upscale market, I never heard anything that came close to the D55.... read more [+] Many years later, I was thinking of treating myself to a high end Martin. I've played several D41's, D28s and a few other models - and I actually walked away unimpressed with them - I don't think they have the richness and texture of the D-55. The D-55 also just feels more significant - it's a bit heavier, a bit more solid - which to me, is also desirable. I would like to think this extra mass contributes to its' sound - it just sounds so full, so big - I've never heard another acoustic that comes close.

April 9, 2009 Music Background: Hobbyist Nothing will compare to this guitar in this price range!
by Northwoods Picker from Northern Maine
I sold my Gibson Songwriter Deluxe and my old D-35 Martin to buy this guitar after I played one! This is the finest sounding guitar I have ever played bar nun. I have a close friend with a D-45 Martin... read more [+] he bought new in 1971 and both of us feel it still isnt in bussiness with this guitar sound wise........ The fit and finish is as good as the Martin the sound is amazing . The sunburst finish is spectacular [but no better than a Gibson SJ from the custom ship]buy this guitar if you have a couple of grand and want to stop buying guitars all the time trying to find that "Holy Grail" acoustic, this is IT! close [-]

by Gary D. Parker from Wheaton,Il.
I bought my Guild D-55 Electra in 1976. This guitar has the most beautiful sounding of any guitar I've played. I tried many guitars over the years and none come close to the D-55 Electra.
