In excellent shape. Beautiful inlays and binding. Comes with case.According to the Guild website, this Guild D55 Acoustic Guitar SN 112801 was one of last three made in 1974.There are very few scratches. I\'ve tried to capture those marks in the pictures. It really is a beautiful guitar and none of the cosmetic stuff affects the strength or playability of the guitar.Guild\'s series of dreadnoughts have shared the stage with legendary artists like Johnny Cash to a newer generations like Gillian Welch and Ryan Adams. Guild introduced its flagship dreadnought, the D-55, in 1968. It was first introduced as a special order item only, but the response was so strong that within a few years it was added to the line as a regular production model. Since then, it has become synonymous with Guild\'s namesake.The D55 is constructed of all solid wood. The D-55 has lots of presence and volume, while still maintaining balance and response. Not too punchy and but not too mellow - the D-55 is perfect for those looking for a tried and true dreadnought with vintage style.
