Description
Solid Poplar Body With Vintage-Inspired Offset Appeal
A natural next iteration of the Surfliner platform, the Surfliner HH dips into rock and metal genres with an HH configuration and coil-splitting for a diverse tonal pallet. Influenced by the iconic heritage and eccentric shapes of vintage Guilds. The Guild Surfliner platform compliments the brand lineage by combining classic styling with modern features in an offset, solid body electric. A nod to Guild’s new California Heritage, the Guild Surfliner takes its namesake from the Surfliner train that travels the California Coast. Gloss body available in Canyon Dusk and Shoreline Mist metallic finishes.
Solid Poplar Body With Comfortable C Shaped 25.5” Scale Maple Neck
Sleek, contoured lines shape the asymmetric Poplar body, while a satin finished C-shaped neck provides smooth, fast playing experience. Evenly balanced and shaped to fit comfortably at any strap height. Featuring a neck to body joint at the 17th fret. One of Guild’s few electric models to feature a 25.5” scale length.
HH Pickup Configuration Featuring Guild Hb-2 Humbuckers With Alnico Ii Magnets
Outfitted with two HB-2 Humbuckers with Alnico II magnets. The HB-2 pickups were developed to recreate the tone of vintage Guild HB-1 pickups in a standardsize humbucker format. Featuring Alnico II magnets, they deliver rich, warm vintage tone.
Guild Rocker Pickup Switching System Combined With Coil-Splitting Master Volume And Tone For 8 Pickup Combinations
The sound of the Surfliner HH is driven by the Guild Rocker Pickup Switching System and push/pull master volume and tone controls. Each rocker switch and push/pull are assigned to a single pickup allowing players to dial in a total of 8 pickup combinations. Go from smooth, creamy tones to snappy single-coil or full frequency, acoustic-like tones in a matter of a few pushes and pulls. A true workhorse that holds its own in rhythm and leads the Surfliner HH brings new soul to the classic Guild DNA.
