Happy Birthday to a guy who always appealed to my weakness for the absurd and goofy side of life. :eagerness:

It probably woulda been true, but I think we figured out a coupla years back it's not one of his D55's at the bed-in.
The one photo I can find showing the front looks like no neck inlay, also, no sunburst.
White binding in '69 probably means D40 or D50 (guessing probably a D50 because it's what D55's were derived from.)
Enlarging helps see the fretboard but it's still kinda dark.
Johnny, don't know if you're aware of this but Tommy is actually the father of the D55, when he started ordering D50 Specials: D50's with F50 necks.
When he started using one on the show Guild created a new model number for it in '68, and it was known as the "Television D55" available by special order only for the first several years.
I agree, Teej!! Even as a youngster I thought it was funny and even my stoic and serious parents were heard to chuckle a bit! Happy Birthday, Tommy!! :encouragement:Tommy and Dick were (are) so talented and funny. What a true revolutionary thing they did with The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. And let's not forget that Glen Campbell gained public fame by being their summer fill in. Happy Birthday Yo-yo man!
Right.Tommy and Dick were (are) so talented and funny. What a true revolutionary thing they did with The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
I think that guitar belonged to Woody Guthrie - "This machine kills fascists":...and Pete Seeger (whose guitar killed fascists)
