D55 purchased in February 1999. I always presumed it to be a 1998 model...in searching the Guild serial number registry (1997-1999) I find a serial number range of AD550413-AD550691 however my D55 IS numbered AD551044. Any help in resolving my confusion is appreciated. Thx

Wilguid, welcome to LTG! I see a first post so HELLO and in case why you might wonder why there isn't more discussion on this topic, it's because you got your answer from Hans Moust, a resident expert and also the man who wrote The Guild Guitar Book: The Company and the Instruments : 1952-1977. We all impatiently await Vol. II which we're assured is coming along, but if anyone knows the answer to your question, it's Hans. Congrats also on owning a top of the line Guild for these last 21 years.

Welcome!! :encouragement:

Hi Willguild and welcome aboard!
Although Hans didn't go into it, the Guild charts actually cut off at some time in '97 even though the header for that section implies they run through '99.
There's nothing there for Corona either so essentially there's no online info for anything from '98 to '04 that I've seen yet.
