    Tommy Smothers of the Smothers Brothers, who just passed away on December 26th, 2023 played a Guild D-55 with a sunburst top. It was seen weekly on Sunday night on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour from 1967 to 1969. Beautiful instrument!

    Happy New Year. Great sounding guitar. And one of 70, nation wide, says something about your standing in the industry. Congratulations. I do have an unrelated question for you. Do you benefit when we comment? I thought you did, so I try to comment on each video. If you don’t. I can sit back in the audience, headbob, smile, and nod my approval most times.

    There's something about the Guild in Gibson that just kind of brings me back to the 60s and 70s, such a nice sounding guitar! Hey Cooper still waiting on the album...you make all guitars awesome this one is specifically sweet.

    This was originally known as the TV Model played by Tom Smothers. Only available as a special order. Then in regular line in 1985 as the D-55.

    Great video and am trying to decide between the Guild you're reviewing, a Alvarez Yairi Masterworks DYM72 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Natural, or a Taylor 814 CE and I focus on John Denver (love the Yamaha LL 55 sound! and James Taylor, so love the vibrant clarity and bass guitars.

    @texhaines9957 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks, Cooper and Chris. Is this like the one that John Denver played? Even at Redrock CO? How would this compare totally to an Eastman E20 D MR TC ( torrified Sitka top, Madagascar Rosewood back and sides dreadnought)? Of course, I wouldn't mind this one as it has that Guild sound (Eastman closer to Martin). Thank you for the nut, scale, and profile as it isn't on your web page. It helps me with those specs ESPECIALLY if the player says it's comfortable. Some I have to try before I buy.

      It could have something to do with rarity of woods and gauging the size of a market for such an expensive guitar and balancing production capabilities as well. But yeah - artificial scarcity is the older trick in the book too! :-)
