Overview

A special dreadnought from a special company.

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 Guild D-50 Bluegrass Special acoustic guitar 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. The result is an incredibly musical and versatile dreadnought.

The acoustic guitar's top is solid red spruce, offering full balance and projection. The solid mahogany back and sides bring out rich tone, and complement the projection of the spruce top. The scalloped red spruce bracing offers more response for a bigger projection, ideal for rhythmic strumming in country or bluegrass applications. A 3-piece neck adds strength and a nice design element. The Indian rosewood bridge and fretboard produce lasting sustain and tonal clarity. The Gotoh 700 Series nickel-plated open-back tuners add precision to your tuning and the chrome hardware bring out a beautiful shine.

Other unique features on the Guild D-50 dreadnought include ebony headcap, dovetail neck joint with slim heel, lightweight laminated birch tail-block, 30' radius top, red spruce scalloped braced top, pearl dot position inlays, bone bridge pins, bone nut and saddle, tortoise shell bindings, classic guild rosette with tortoise shell stripe, tortoise shell pickguard, dual action truss rod, and a high-gloss finish.
