Guild has been building dreadnought acoustic guitars since 1963, and these 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.

Guild's dreadnoughts are 15-3/4" wide and feature all solid woods. They employ Guild’s time-proven "X" bracing pattern. Guild's hand-shaped dreadnought necks measure 1-11/16" width at the nut with a 25-5/8" scale length and are equipped with Grover Rotomatic® tuners. In addition, the guitars are accompanied by a deluxe archtop case.

Guild’s flagship model, the D55 was first introduced in 1968 as a special order item only, but the response was so strong that within a few years it was added to the line as a regular production model. The D55 is prized by players worldwide—from John Renbourn to the Barenaked Ladies. This model features a Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides, a three-piece Mahogany neck, Ebony bridge and fretboard with Mother-of-Pearl and Abalone block position inlays, and G-shield logo.
