Versatile HSS pickup configuration
While this guitar takes inspiration from the surf guitars of the 60s, the Surfliners modernized HSS pickup combo can cover almost any style you can throw at it! The Guild LB-1 mini humbucker bridge pickup provides a full, punchy tone thats equally at home with twangy tremolo picking as it is with fuzzed-out garage rock lead tones. Two Aerosonic pickups in the middle and the neck position bring the single-coil clarity, ideal for players looking to capture more traditional offset-style guitar tones.
Comfortable maple neck

The 10-inch fingerboard radius is curved enough to deliver both easy open-position playing and wide enough to prevent your bends from choking out when exploring the Surfliners higher register. Finally, the C shape neck is sure to make players of all varieties feel right at home when playing the Surfliner its the standard guitar neck shape for a reason!
Sleek offset style
Everything about the Surfliner simply oozes offset style!
