Is it a D55? Looks like numbers DE101375 - DE101406 were made in 1986. At least according to this page:

I’m seeing that as a 1986 D55.

Hello Russman,

That particular guitar started life as a D-55 and was serial numbered during the year 1986.
However, it was not completed during that year, but a year later at which time the D-55 was no longer part of the Guild line, and it ended up with the D-65 model designation on the label. For all practical purposes I would date this guitar to 1986.

Sincerely,
