Does anyone know what size bracing is used for a D55 and a D40 Traditional? Thanks.

I would like to know what size bracing 1/4 or 5/16 E.g is used for a D55 and a D40 Traditional?

I'v never sen specs regarding Guild bracing size and I'm probably one of the more-well-read members here as far as Guild's literature. I'm very sure that it would vary according to the year the model was made, since Guild was in a pretty continuous state of evolution between "lightly built" Hoboken to "built like a tank" in mid '70's-'80's and back to heavy in Corona, and most recently "light" again.

If it's in here you might find something I've never seen, and that's about as useful as I'm gonna get:

If we knew why it was so important that you're trying again we might be able to offer more useful info .

Last time you asked you made it clear you were specifically interested in a 2017 D40 Traditional and a 1999 D55. Whatever the answer is, it will not be the same for all D40's or all D55's across the decades.

This question has been asked before and not answered to the OP's satisfaction. The OP indicated some frustration because of the previous veering so I will announce my willingness to moderate veers and speculation out of this thread. If you don't have an answer or your answer is not specific to a 2017 D40 Traditional or a 1999 D55 then I will probably edit or delete it. @adorshki gets a pass on the previous post because the response was before I posted this.
