Guild® D55 Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The D55 Traditional Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar from Guild has a full-bodied, high-volume body style that was developed with an emphasis on string-to-string balance, so that treble, mid and bass registers project evenly. Guild has been building dreadnought acoustic guitars since 1963, and their instruments are revered for their value, reliability, tone, responsiveness, outstanding projection and sustain. The result is one of the most musically versatile dreadnoughts anywhere.

Guild's flagship model, the D55 dreadnought guitar, was introduced in 1968 as a special order-only item, but the response was so strong that within a few years it became a regular production model. The D55 acoustic guitar is prized by players worldwide, from George Strait to Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls). This model features a spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a three-piece mahogany neck, ebony bridge and fingerboard with mother of pearl and abalone block position inlays, and G -shield logo.

Guild® F412 Vintage Jumbo 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Antique Burst

The quality and ubiquity of Guild's jumbo 12-strings have earned them a permanent place in guitar history. As historians Tom and Mary Anne Evans once wrote, The basic virtue of Guild 12-strings is that they are very loud and [have] a clarity and definition of sound not normally associated with 12-string guitars."

One of the keys to achieving that clarity and definition is solid construction. While the body size and scale length are the same as Guild's 6-string jumbos, their 12-strings are 1-13/16" wide at the nut, and feature a double truss rod system and their time-tested jumbo bracing pattern.

Designed in the late 1960s as one of Guild's first jumbo 12-strings, the F-412 has an arched curly maple back and solid curly maple sides. Painstakingly true to its vintage roots, this version of the F-412 has the same body dimensions as the original (17" wide, 21" long, 4.8" deep). It features a solid AAA sitka spruce top, high-quality ebony fingerboard with abalone and mother of pearl block inlays, G-shield headstock inlay and gold Grover Rotomatic tuning machines.

Guild® Traditional Series F47RC Acoustic-Electric Guitar Ice Tea Burst

The Guild Traditional Series F47RC Acoustic-Electric cutaway dreadnought is comprised of solid Mahogany back and sides, a solid Red Spruce top, a 3-piece Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The F47RC guitar is outfitted with a D-TAR™ Wave-Length™ Pickup and Preamp System that offers both mic and matrix signal sources.

D-TAR™ Wave-Length™ Pickup and Preamp System with Load 'N Lock™ Battery Access. The Wave-Length combines a think, piezo under-saddle transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high input impedance preamp, to create a system with twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is powered by two AA batteries and a voltage converter. With 18 volts, the signal has more headroom, so hard strumming won't distort as easily.

The guitar's preamp also has an input for a second source, like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer. Two adjustable trim pots, one for low frequency shelving and one for high frequency shelving, allow you to fine tune and "set and forget" the bass and treble frequencies to optimize the Wave-Length for your Guild F47RC guitar's size and shape; enabling you to transparently amplify the natural timbre of your acoustic guitar with minimal coloration. The soundhole mounted Volume and Tone controls give the ultimate in final control over your tonal palette. But perhaps the coolest part of the system is D-TAR's new Load 'N Lock system, which allows quick and easy battery changes. Just unscrew the endpin "collar," remove the old batteries, and pop in the new ones. A quarter turn of the collar is all you need to lock them in place.

Eighteen volts translates to twice the headroom and dynamic range of a typical 9-volt system. This means you can strum extra hard without experiencing dreaded piezo "quack." Simply put, the Wave-Length is the most non-invasive acoustic guitar pickup and preamp system ever, and is as sonically spectacular as it is visually discreet.
