Roasted maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard and block inlays
The Surfliner Deluxe elevates the Surfliner platform with all new appointments. Introducing Guild’s first-ever roasted maple neck, for a dark aged appearance with added stiffness and stability. A bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays compliments the satin finished C-shaped 25.5” scale neck providing a smooth playing experience.
New Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (gfvt)
Developed for the Surfliner Deluxe – the new Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (GFVT) opens the Surfliner platform to new playing styles, capable of a broad range of vibrato effects, from subtle flutters to deep swells. The GFVT is equipped with a nylon insert and easily accessible tension screw for ultimate control of bar tension. Featuring an embossed “G” for classic Guild DNA.
HSS Pickup Configuration Featuring Dearmond Aerosonic Single Coil and Guild HB-2 Humbucker Pickups
Outfitted with a bridge HB-2 Humbucker with Alnico II magnets, the HB-2 was developed to recreate the rich, warm tone of vintage Guild humbuckers in a standard size format. The HB-2 is paired perfectly with the chiming single-coil tones of the two DeArmond Aerosonic middle and neck pickups.
The Surfliner Deluxe debuts a classic 5-way blade switch. This instantly recognizable pickup switching offers quick access from rhythm to solo tones at the flick of a switch.
Solid Poplar Body with Vintage-inspired Offset Appeal
Built with a lightweight Poplar solid body, the new Surfliner Deluxe features a gloss finish and matching headstock, available in Evergreen Metallic, Rose Quartz Metallic and Black Metallic.
