Guild / D55 / 2018 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
Guild have long gone below the radar of high end US acoustics, and the D55 is their top of the line dreadnought. It was first introduced in 1968 as a special-order model, and was so well-received that Guild added it into the regular production line by 1974. It remains true to all the premium appointments of its 1968 predecessor, including a AAA Sitka Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, Ebony fingerboard and bridge, and nitrocellulose finish. Visually it has classic good looks, with the instantly recognisable pickguard and bridge, and the highly decorative fingerboard inlays and G brand headstock logo. The D-55’s nitro finish is hand sprayed for minimum thickness and maximum resonance that will only get better with age. Put all of that together and you have a very responsive guitar, with great resonance, a fantastic bass response, and an overall full tone. The guitar’s in very good condition, with enough playwear to tell you it’s been played but looked after. It has a Fishman Ellipse Blend pickup system fitted and comes in a non original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
