He was the father of the D55. Started off ordering "D50 Specials" in '63, D50's with F50 necks. Got so popular on the show they decided to call it the "Television D55". Special order from '68-'74, then became "regular production".
Were the Smothers Brothers summer replacements for Glen Campbell, or was Glen Campbell a replacement for someone? Maybe Johnny Cash? Or were both summer replacements?Hard not to think also of Glen Campbell when thinking about the Smothers Brothers. Amazing entertainers.

He started by ordering "D50 Specials", D50's with F50 necks. Guild started calling 'em the "Television D55" 'cause of its popularity on the showI THINK Tommy Smother's D55 was the first Guild guitar I'd ever seen back in the 60's......if it was even called a "D55" back then. Seems like Hans or somebody said it was a prototype.

Hartford wrote "Gentle On My Mind" that was a hit for Campbell and others.Don't want to veer, but let me just say that I loved the Glen Campbell Show! He followed the Smothers Brothers model of having great musical guests every week. Noting the other thread on '70's TV shows, there are so many shows I looked forward to in those days, these are definitely two of them!
This is just brilliant:
