The Guild Surfliner is a retro designed affordable guitar by one of the classic companies. Guild have been making superb instruments since the early 1950's and are particularly known for their acoustics and semi acoustics. However in the past they did make this.
This is the S-200 T-Bird, so compared to this the Surfliner is relatively conventional!!
I like the Surfliner, I think it looks great and it certainly sounds great. There are three switches that turn on each of the pickups, giving the possibility of 7 different combinations, so it's pretty versatile. It does have a pretty chunky neck, which is not something I particularly like, but I seem to get round it well enough.
Now this is my first ever Guild guitar and I really like the unusual design. There are a lot of guitars like this appearing these days and I think that is a good thing, since everything doesn't have to be based on those early 50's Fenders and Gibsons.
As to the sound. As with the Squier Paranormal Supersonic I recorded an album with it.
