Guild / D55 Natural / 1978 / Guitar

In the late '60s, the D55 was dubbed the TV Model and entered the Guild dreadnought line-up as the flagship model. Though similar in design to the D50 or D40, the D55 features higher-end cosmetic appointments like block inlays, as well as an ebony bridge and three-piece mahogany/maple neck. Eric Clapton owned a 1978 D55, which he used for writing and recording, until it was sold at a charity auction for his Crossroads drugs and alcohol rehabilitation centre. This natural finished D55 from the same year is a magnificent flat-picking and strumming guitar with a very loud and lush tone. It is in very good condition with the usual playwear and dings on the body and some lacquer chips on the binding. The neck has also lost some of the finish, revealing the three piece mahogany/maple construction. The binding on the back of the body is a little bit loose on both sides in the waist. Comes in a hardshell case with TFOA passport.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
