Guild D-55E - Antique Sunburst Reviews
Amazing tone, questionable finish

After drooling for years over the acoustic version of this, I finally decided to get it (unfortunately it wasn't available at SW). But the guitar I got had some markings in the lacquer (top, back, sides, headstock) and there was even a fingerprint in the neck!! I took it to a luthier and he pointed out the case was marking the guitar. Indeed he was right. The markings followed the… read more same quilted pattern as the case padding! I called Guild and they said I can return it but that would take 6-8 months for an answer/fix/replacement. So I decided to return the guitar. A few months later I learned that it was being discontinued so I decided to try my luck again. I again received a beautiful sounding guitar but it also had some minor marks on the back (possibly minor because this one didn't spend so much time in its case), and it did have scuffs and other markings in the neck binding. On top of it the frets ends were too sharp and uncomfortable. Overall, this is a guitar with great resonance, harmonics, etc. but the quality of the finish is not what I would expect for a $4K "flagship" guitar. My other Korean-made Guilds didn't have these issues. And my US-made Guild D20 was absolutely perfect out of the box.
Worth the wait!

Once ordered my D-55 i was told i had to wait due to backorder and shortage of materials that caused the process to be delayed. At one point i was told not to expect it until December of 2021. Well, i received it in October. I was also expecting to send the guitar to not sound perfect and may have to send it back and get another copy if i did not like this particular one, but its… read more absolutely perfect. The folks over at Guild really made a beautiful D-55. the tonal quality and the finish are stunning on the guitar. Sounds exactly as i wanted it to! thats all you can ask from it.
