The Guild D-55 70th Anniversary Edition: A Legacy Reborn
Guild Guitars has long been synonymous with exceptional acoustic guitar craftsmanship. The D-55 model, a beacon of this tradition, was first introduced in 1968 and has since been a favorite among discerning guitarists. Now, in its 70th year, Guild commemorates its journey with a special edition - the D-55 70th Anniversary Acoustic Guitar, a blend of timeless design and modern innovation.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Artistry
Every aspect of the Guild D-55 70th Anniversary guitar reflects the meticulous attention to detail and artistry Guild is known for. The guitar’s body is made from high-quality Madagascar Rosewood, known for its rich, deep tones. The top is crafted from aged Adirondack Spruce, delivering a sound that is both powerful and nuanced.
Iconic Details
The guitar’s aesthetics are equally impressive, featuring intricate mother-of-pearl Guild Peak and G-shield inlays. The headstock, fully bound and adorned with these beautiful inlays, immediately catches the eye.
Unparalleled Sound and Playability
The D-55 70th Anniversary edition is designed for outstanding performance. The Ebony fingerboard, coupled with a mahogany neck and Walnut center seam strip, provides a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The inclusion of gold Gotoh open-gear tuners and Evo gold frets underlines the guitar’s premium feel and reliability.
Sophistication and Balance
Guild’s iconic Abalone/Pearl V-blocks, along with a commemorative "Winged G" at the 12th fret, add a layer of sophistication. The guitar’s hand-sprayed gloss nitrocellulose finish not only gives it a stunning look but also enhances its tonal qualities, ensuring that every note played is rich and full.
A Collector’s Dream: Rarity and Authenticity
This special edition is not just a musical instrument; it's a collector's dream. Limited to just 70 pieces globally, each guitar is a part of Guild's celebrated history. Our store is proud to offer guitar number 44 in this series, making it a rare and valuable addition to any collection.
