Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Surfliner Deluxe is Guild’s offset poplar solidbody electric with a gloss Black Metallic finish, matching headstock, roasted maple neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard. Its pickup arrangement places a Guild HB-2 Alnico II humbucker at the bridge alongside DeArmond Aerosonic single-coils in the middle and neck. A 5-way blade switch makes those pickup choices quick to reach during a set. Guild’s Floating Vibrato Tailpiece supports effects from light flutters to deeper swells, with an accessible screw for bar-tension adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players moving between rhythm and solo pickup sounds quickly with a five-way blade switch.
