New Hartford built D-55

http://guildguitars.com/community/artists/ lists Nick Drake under "Guild Through the Years"

http://guildguitars.com/g/m-20-in-natural/ mentions him on the M20 page

Nothing related to a D50 or D55.

https://reverb.com/p/guild-d-55-acoustic-guitar-natural does mention Nick Drake as a notable artist but that is a Reverb page, and not on Guild's website. It is not clear who wrote the Reverb page but I wonder if The Guitar Shoppe in Laguna Beach is responsible and not Guild itself.

There's always a lot of mystery around Drake and whether he played a Guild. The general consensus is that he was given a Guild M-20 for the cover art but played a Martin on that album. Does it matter, tho? I think people should focus on finding their own sound. Much of Drake's sound comes from alternate tunings, and I think he discovered them via the process of discovering his own sound.
