Looking for 50th Anniversary Guild d-55

[DocBurns]

Had one right when they were released but had to sell it. Wish I had not. One of the most enjoyable guitars I have ever played.

Welcome Doc to a great guitar forum. Others will be along and D55s get a lot of love.
Good luck with your hunt!

Welcome to LTG! Yes, a very special guitar, a couple of years ago I saw #1 at Guitar Showcase in San Jose:

Long sold since.

There's one on Reverb now.

Guild D-55 Brazilian Rosewood 50th Anniversary Model 2003 Natural Engellmann Spruce top/Brazilian b | Reverb

Guild D-55 has to be one of the best bluegrass guitars available. It is know for the great deep sound, and play ability. This guitar was made as one of a set of 50, in 2003, with Brazilian stock they had from the 1950s (pre-embargo) in their warehouse since they started making guitars...

My goodness! What a beautiful guitar.

 

[Rich Cohen]

The one on the 'Verb is nicely figured. The asking price is a bit stiff IMO. Maybe the seller would come down a bit.

sold (not to me)

That is hardly old growth Brazilian. Flat sawn stump wood.

 

[kostask]

Yes, it is stump wood. That doesn't preclude it being old growth though (the stumps are usually the oldest parts of the tree). It also doesn't preclude it from sounding good; you won't know until you hear it.
