Guild Surfliner Deluxe Electric Guitar In Glacier Blue Metallic

The Guild Surfliner Deluxe in Glacier Blue Metallic takes the laid-back cool of a vintage offset and injects it with modern playability and versatility. With a lightweight solid Poplar body, roasted Maple neck, HSS pickup configuration and Guild’s new Floating Vibrato Tailpiece, it is built to handle everything from glassy surf cleans to punchy rock riffs and expressive lead work.

Inspired by the Pacific coastline and crafted in California, the Surfliner Deluxe pairs classic styling with contemporary appointments that make it a genuine workhorse. The satin-finished C-shaped roasted Maple neck and bound Rosewood fingerboard feel fast and familiar, while the DeArmond Aerosonic single coils and HB-2 humbucker deliver a huge range of tones at the flick of a traditional 5-way blade switch.

Vintage Offset Style with Modern Comfort

The Surfliner Deluxe starts with a solid Poplar body that keeps the weight down without sacrificing resonance. Its offset silhouette has that unmistakable retro appeal, finished in a sleek Glacier Blue Metallic with a matching headstock for a cohesive, stage-ready look. The gloss body finish feels smooth and durable, while the ergonomic contours make long rehearsals and gigs more comfortable.

Roasted Maple Neck and Bound Rosewood Fingerboard

Guild’s first-ever roasted Maple neck gives the Surfliner Deluxe a dark, aged aesthetic along with added stiffness and stability. The satin finish on the comfortable C-shaped profile feels fast and broken-in straight away, encouraging fluid chord work and lead lines. A bound Rosewood fingerboard with block inlays adds a premium touch and provides a smooth playing surface across the full 25.5 inch scale length.

HSS Versatility with DeArmond Aerosonic and HB-2 Pickups

An HSS pickup layout equips the Surfliner Deluxe for almost any style. The bridge-position HB-2 humbucker uses Alnico II magnets to capture the rich, warm character of vintage Guild humbuckers, with bold mids, tight lows and clear highs that cut without getting harsh. It is perfectly matched with the chiming DeArmond Aerosonic single coils in the middle and neck positions, offering everything from raw, responsive single-coil bite to smooth, jazz-ready warmth. The traditional 5-way blade switch gives instant access to classic in-between tones, hum-cancelling combinations and focused bridge punch.

New Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece

The Surfliner Deluxe debuts Guild’s new Floating Vibrato Tailpiece, expanding the guitar’s expressive potential. From subtle vibrato shimmers to deeper pitch swells, the GFVT keeps things controlled and musical. An embossed G logo ties it back to Guild’s heritage, while the nylon insert and easily accessible tension screw let you fine-tune the feel of the vibrato arm to suit your playing style.

• HSS Pickup Configuration with DeArmond Aerosonic and HB-2 - The combination of a bridge HB-2 humbucker and two DeArmond Aerosonic single coils delivers a huge tonal palette. Enjoy everything from tight, aggressive rock tones to sparkling cleans and classic in-between sounds, all accessible via the traditional 5-way blade switch.
• Roasted Maple Neck with Bound Rosewood Fingerboard - The roasted Maple neck offers enhanced stability and a dark, vintage-inspired look, while the satin finish and comfortable C-shaped profile feel instantly familiar. A bound Rosewood fingerboard with block inlays adds a touch of class and a smooth, inviting playing surface.
• Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (GFVT) - Guild’s new vibrato system opens up expressive techniques from gentle shimmer to deep dives. The nylon insert and adjustable tension screw allow you to dial in the bar resistance to your preference, giving you confident control over your vibrato effects.
• Lightweight Poplar Body with Offset Appeal - The solid Poplar body keeps the guitar comfortable for long sessions while maintaining a lively, resonant response. Its vintage-inspired offset shape and Glacier Blue Metallic finish with matching headstock ensure you look as good as you sound on stage or in the studio.
