Hello fellow guild lovers!
I am in need of your expertise and help to solve some mysteries I have with a 1973 Guild D55.
I will post pictures to illustrate where my confusion lies and hope that someone can help me figure this out.
My 2 main questions are
1- Why does this D55 have a D50 top?
2- Does anyone have any idea what kind of wood is on this sides? It does not look like the Indian Rosewood on the back in grain or in color, I have had people tell me that it is everything from Koa to mahogany to Brazilian Rosewood... and I have no idea what to make of it.
Between these two mysteries I am not really sure what to make of this D55 : ) But one thing is certain, it sounds amazing!
Any help would be appreciated.
