NGD!!! D-55 70th Anniversary!!!

[LeoKik]

Finally she is here!!! No64 from 70!!!
She is AMAZING!! Definitely at the same level with my Martin D-45 but for the half of the price!!!!!! This is crazy!!!
Superior from all directions from my regular D-55 2023! More depth more volume, more complexity in the sound! More musicality in the sound! Fatter neck compared to the regular D-55!! And of course more beautiful guitar! She is heavily more appointed compared to the regular one!
The regular D-55 is an amazing guitar! Way better than more expensive guitars from other top brands! No question about that! I love her!
But this Anniversary…. She is a “more” guitar in every single category compared to the regular D-55!
No regrets at all that I bought her!
I sold to a very good friend of mine my regular D-55 so, I minimised the financial exposure and I also made my friend very happy because it was a win win deal for both of us!
I am so so so happy for this decision!!
Happy days!!

Wonderful, congrats! You were so excited about your D-55, but the Anniversary model appears to be even better for you. Enjoy your new and very special guitar!

Sensational. A work of art for sure, but its nice to see that the sound is of such a high caliber. Congratulations Leokik.

Hey, congrats, Leo!!!!

That's a beautiful and very cool addition to the herd! Yours could be the last one they made unless they actually did make their "limit" of 70.

 

[Norrissey]

Wow. That Madagascar Rosewood looks amazing. Congrats!

 

[GAD]

Congrats! Glad to hear they are "better".

 

[BradHK]

The back on that guitar is amazing! Congratulations and enjoy!

 

[Cougar]

Holy smokes! That's a beauty!

 

[mavuser]

u certainly have my stamp of approval, congrats and enjoy!

I'll second, no third, a motion to resolve that the rosewood back is the most gorgeous one I've seen. (All in favor?)

 

[LeoKik]

Thank you so much all of you guys for the very warm and beautifully welcome comments!! She is gorgeous indeed!
I can’t put her down! Her sound is hugely big and deep and fat! I was shocked!I Way bigger than the regular D-55!!
I bought her from Thomann (Europe) where they had in stock another 3! So I was lucky enough to choose in between 4 Anniversaries! Also, there were another 2 guitar shops they had 1 (each one) in stock. Definitely the one I chose was the most beautiful by far! And from sound wise (which is the important), she was also the best from the ones Thomann had in stock!!

Yeah this a work of art, for sure. Frets, g shield inlay, figured rosewood.. What a beaut.. Congrats!!!
Great beater to take camping...

Congratulations! This is great news, and I'm so glad you had the chance to play multiple examples before buying. It can make such a difference. When I bought my 70th Anniversary, the shop had two in stock. One was an excellent rosewood dreadnought, but nothing beyond what I already had. If that had been my only choice, I still might have brought it home, but I suspect I would have regretted it. The other one, though, figuratively lit up when I started playing it. That's the one that came home with me.

Congratulations for your Anniversary my friend! They are amazing guitars honestly! To me she is in the same level next to my Martin D-45 but the Anniversary is still a bit louder! And for the half of the price! We are 2 of the 70 super lucky people in the globe we own this piece of art musically and aesthetically, as well! At least this s my personal humble opinion!

Thank you so much for this my friend! Yes, it is Adirondack top with Adirondack bracing, as well! The back and sides is Madagascar Rosewood!
