Inspired by the bold shapes and retro charm of vintage Guild electrics, the all-new Guild Surfliner® puts a modern twist on classic style. This offset, solid-body electric guitar delivers sleek aesthetics, smooth playability, and a versatile tonal range—perfect for players who want standout looks and sound in one unique package.

The Surfliner features an ergonomic, contoured poplar body paired with a satin-finished C-shaped neck for a fast, comfortable feel. Designed for balance and comfort at any strap height, it offers a neck-to-body joint at the 17th fret for easy upper-fret access. Available in eye-catching Catalina Blue, Sunset Orange, and White Sage finishes, this guitar looks as vibrant as it sounds.

With a 25.5" scale length—rare among Guild electrics—the Surfliner delivers enhanced snap and clarity, perfect for its trio of pickups. A vintage-style Guild LB-1 humbucker in the bridge position brings warm, dynamic tones that range from bright and clean to fat and overdriven. Paired with two newly designed DeArmond Aerosonic single-coils in the neck and middle positions, this pickup configuration provides a wide sonic palette—from crisp, jangly highs to punchy, midrange-rich rhythms.

Boldly retro yet built for today’s players, the Guild Surfliner combines vintage spirit with modern performance.
