The Guild Doyle Dykes Signature Model is the result of extensive collaboration among Dykes and master luthier Ren Ferguson. Crafted to Dykes’ exacting specifications, the cutaway grand orchestra guitar delivers a rich, full and balanced sound that will please the most discerning guitarist. It’s an incredibly articulate instrument, with truly stunning headroom and dynamic range. With an abalone-trimmed AAA-grade red spruce top and AAA quilted big-leaf maple back and sides, the guitar looks as amazing as it sounds. The dark-tinted top imparts an aged look, and the 20-fret ebony fingerboard and abalone-inlaid bridge contribute to a distinctively elegant appearance.
Other special features include custom D-55-style abalone/mother-of-pearl fret markers rotated 90 degrees and located on the bass side of the fingerboard, a slightly shallower body than that of the standard F-47 on which the model is based, scalloped red spruce bracing, abalone rosette, three-piece mahogany neck with rosewood center, 12″ fingerboard radius, stylized Guild “G” headstock overlay, extra tuner spacing to accommodate Dykes’ signature behind-the-nut string bends, bone nut and saddle, and a pure gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Each Doyle Dykes Signature Model comes with a dark brown hard-shell case lined with dark-green plush.
