I got this Guild Surfliner Deluxe guitar in a few months back and just can't put it down. Its unique style, versatile pickup combinations, and fun, fluid vibrato make it a compelling option for many styles and applications. The rose quartz metallic finish is absolutely beautiful, and it plays and feels amazing. But don't take my word for it! Check out the intro sketch, browse the specs and hear all the sound samples of the Surfliner Deluxe with clean, overdriven, and ambient tones.

I got a pink one after viewing this review. Accurate depiction of the quality and originality of that instrument. I would be less enclined to say it's strat vibes other than the pickup config. It has such a unique sound. Its own thing. Amazing to see such an inspired design being both original (although inspired), high quality, great value and orginal sounding instrument!

I nearly purchased the hardtail version when I was in Belgium over Xmas and New Year but the store only had the non trem version. It was a guitar flavour that really felt like it needed a vibrato.

I think the vibrato is the cherry on top for sure, and it's so smooth. It rounds the guitar out nicely and for those of us (myself included) that have become accustomed to having a vibrato system on most guitars I play, I'm glad they made this Deluxe model!

I'd put the quality and playability in a very similar camp for both. Hope this helps!

Guild is killing it lately - I truly think they are the best guitars for the price. I own many Custom Shop guitars and LP Reissues, Es-335’s, vintage, etc. Recently bought a Guild X175 Manhattan Special (Korea) and am BLOWN AWAY with how great it is for the price. Hearing amazing things about these Indonesian made Guilds also considering the price. I’m definitely going to grab a couple more Guilds since they are so affordable and playable. Perhaps I will sell off some of my more expensive guitars and recoup some cash?

I have wanted a JM for some time and they are just to much for a good one. I considered settling on a mid level strat like a Sire S-7 but I don't like the fretboard. I want rosewood or ebony. This guitar is very nice. No coil tap but that's fine with me. Great guitar for the cash. Edit, the only thing I don't like is the tremolo JM style is not replaceable with something better with out at least drilling a hole or two in it. From the reviews I have though the trem system performs perfectly.

Thanks man! They’re both great, and in the same league I’d say. Slight edge to the rev on fit and finish but not by much. The pickup combinations make them fairly different sounding, and anecdotally I have played the Guild much more than the Rev. I LOVE the vibrato on the guild and really like the flexibility of jumping from single coils in the neck/mid to a warm HB in the bridge. I do love the bass contour of the Rev tho. Hope this helps! Both are still around ✌🏼

Good choices! It's a tough call as they're both solid instruments. Anecdotally, I've played this one much more than the Reverend. With no knock to the Reverend, but the vibrato and pickup combos the Surfliner offers just provides a unique experience that for me in my collection stands out a bit more and has me reaching for it. I think it's a bit cheaper, and I'd say stands up in quality, so those factors - along with what genres and contexts you'll be playing in - are things to consider!

No double agent, unfortunately, but at least I’ll be able to compare something comparable with a p90 in the neck.

@AmbientEndeavors 11 ай бұрын
Totally, it draws some inspiration from some of those slightly aesthetically quirky guitars of the past. Kind of makes you step back and go "huh, I guess that all really does *work* together" visually. It's a really comfortable "C" shaped neck, a little more flatter of a C, not super chunky. I'm just seeing it has a 10" radius, which is interesting...but I really love the feel of the neck. Not sure how I'd categorize it on modern/vintage sliding scale, but hope this helps!

Personally, this one. Just more tonal variety, I prefer the vibrato on this one, and I love the aesthetic especially with this pink.

@AmbientEndeavors
@AmbientEndeavors 5 ай бұрын
hasn't broke yet! ha, I don't know, it seems like a normal-ish headstock construction to me. But I tend to baby my stuff and won't be using it at any bars or clubs to really put it to the test.

Man I so wish that it had a single coil in the bridge too. I really don't enjoy a humbucker in a guitar like this, everything else seems so perfect
@AmbientEndeavors
@AmbientEndeavors 7 ай бұрын
What I think would have been brilliant is added a coil split option for the humbucker. I personally love the choice to have HSS, I think it makes it wildly versatile but the coil split would open up that SSS sound too for those that want it. Or perhaps you swap it out for a P90 or low-wind something to give a lighter tone, I've considered that too.

Oh and by the way, found your channel searching examples of the Guild since I'm looking for a new guitar for a new post rock/90's alt wall of reverb type of band I'm firing off with a buddy. What a treasure your channel is for me right now! Mega ultra subscribed :D

No, not too bad. No neck dive, the body weight and the trem make it sit really nicely, like an offset.

If you take all YT headlines literally you'll be sorely let down on the whole. But if you scroll through my vids and follow me on Instagram you'll find I genuinely love this guitar, I think it's a ton of fun and definitely worth folks time to try one out. Oh, and I've received $0 from Gretsch to say any of this. Scouts honor. ✌️
