The guy playing with him (Frank Vignola) gives him a run for his money

No.
Music isn't a pi$$in@ contest, but let's see what Vignola (a great guitarist) comes up with, around a country or rock theme....
Taking versatility into consideration, you'll be hard pressed to find a better performer than Tommy.
Solid body anyone?... love this early TE clip:

Damn........there's nothing Tommy Emmanuel can't do with a guitar. And yes Pascal, there are so many guitarists in this world, but TE would get my vote for the best. If you ever get the chance to see him live and in person, don't miss him.

Unfortunately he seems to be staying away from the swamp..... :(

Come on out in October, we'll go see him at Majestic Theater. : ) Mrs. West and I saw TE there a couple of years ago and it is the most incredible venue.......right in the middle of downtown Dallas. Fabulous acoustics in that place too.

Man does that sound like a time.... If it weren't for this insane work schedule and LMG-IV on the horizon, I'd get my ticket now!

And well it should:
"The DV52...was chosen as the basis for the Guild Custom Shop models."
-Guild Gallery #1, pg 14.
:wink:

And the basis for the high end DV's (production models). Along with the Deco and Finesse (both Custom Shop models). Though there were Custom Shop models not based on the DV52...... the 45th Anniversary for example, the Valencia both based on the F40 as I recall, the Peregrine, the Crossroads and so on.

Right. I guess that the real signifcance of the statement is that it points out the DV-52 was the first "foundation instrument" for development of those high end models, and that it's in the same issue that contains the announcement of the planned 1998 expansion of the Custom Shop, and the expanded range of Custom Shop body styles such as you mention.
I could be wrong but I think the Peregrine was standard production though. Just a highly unusual configuration.
Actual Custom Shop models like Deco, Finesse, Valencia, were all limited runs.

Yes sir, I would agree Al. I've always considered the DV52 as somewhat of a threshold that Guild crossed in the rosewood dreadnought realm anyway. A little lighter than the D55. Just a solid design and an acoustic gem.
