Guild Surfliner Deluxe Electric Guitar In Scarlet Red Metallic

Inspired by the sun-soaked Pacific coastline, the Guild Surfliner Deluxe in Scarlet Red Metallic blends vintage offset cool with thoroughly modern performance. A lightweight solid Poplar body, roasted Maple neck and versatile HSS pickup configuration make it a slick, stage-ready all-rounder that will happily cover everything from glassy surf cleans to punchy rock riffs and smooth lead tones.

With Guilds first-ever roasted Maple neck, a bound Rosewood fingerboard with block inlays and the brand-new Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece, the Surfliner Deluxe feels fast, stable and expressive under the fingers. Add in the DeArmond Aerosonic single coils, a Guild HB-2 humbucker and a traditional 5-way blade switch, and you have a guitar that looks retro but plays and sounds bang up to date.

Vintage-Inspired Offset Style

The Surfliner Deluxe takes classic offset styling and gives it a sleek, modern twist. Its solid Poplar body keeps things lightweight and comfortable for long rehearsals and gigs, while the gloss Scarlet Red Metallic finish with matching headstock delivers serious visual impact under stage lights. It is a guitar that looks as bold and individual as it sounds.

Roasted Maple Neck for Stability and Feel

Guilds roasted Maple neck offers a darker, aged look along with improved stiffness and stability. Finished in a smooth satin and carved into a comfortable C-shaped profile, it feels instantly familiar in the hand. The bound Rosewood fingerboard with block inlays not only adds a touch of class but also provides a slick playing surface across the full 25.5 inch scale length.

HSS Versatility with DeArmond and Guild Pickups

The HSS layout combines a Guild HB-2 humbucker at the bridge with two DeArmond Aerosonic single coils in the middle and neck positions. The HB-2 delivers rich, warm humbucker punch with tight lows and sparkling highs that cut without getting harsh, ideal for driven rhythm and lead work. The Aerosonic single coils bring chime, clarity and that classic single coil snap, perfect for clean passages, funk rhythms and edge-of-breakup tones. With the traditional 5-way blade switch you can move from bold bridge crunch to glassy in-between sounds and full, jazzy neck tones in an instant.

Expressive Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece

The new Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (GFVT) opens up a wide range of expressive possibilities. From subtle shimmers to deeper pitch swells, it responds smoothly and predictably, encouraging more dynamic playing. An embossed G keeps the look firmly in the Guild family, while the nylon insert and accessible tension screw let you dial in the feel of the vibrato arm to suit your touch.
