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.

Hss Pickup Configuration Featuring Dearmond Aerosonic Single Coil And Guild Hb-2 Humbucker Pickups
