Known
for its long-standing reputation of iconic electric, acoustic, and bass
guitars, Guild launches its newest solid body electric, bringing the
distinctive Guild styling and sound that helped shape generations of
popular music into the hands of today’s musicians. Available in Sunset
Orange, Catalina Blue, and White Sage, the Surfliner features fresh
transparent colors drawn from the company’s local SoCal environment and
an entirely new solid body platform that crosses subtle offset styling
with the vintage lines of 1960s and 1970s Guilds. Sleek, contoured lines
shape the asymmetric Poplar body with string-through design, while a
satin finished maple neck provides smooth playing and tactile
familiarity.
One of Guild’s few electric models to feature
a 25.5” scale length and bolt-on neck, the combination pairs nicely
with a Guild LB-1 “Little Bucker” in the bridge position and all-new
DeArmond Aerosonic single coils in the middle and neck positions.
Premium pickups give the Surfliner a wide array of tones, from crisp and
jangly to thick and full when overdriven. Voicings are driven by the
Guild Rocker Pickup Switching System, featuring an on/off switch for
each pickup, allowing a total of seven pickup combinations. Rounded out
with a master volume and tone, medium jumbo frets, 3-ply pickguard, and a
Guild logo resurrected from the 1980s.
