New Surfliner

[Walter Broes]

There's more coming, the coolest version yet IMO

Looks good! However, I can understand rocker switches with three pickups but with two I would prefer a toggle. I guess they are trying to keep a theme across the model line.

Vibrato system coming ?! I would need to get used to those switches for sure...both visually and ergo...

Isn't Shoreline Mist a Fender color? If you can't beat them join them?

Shoreline Gold is Fender color. So is Firemist Gold. I think they just combined the two to come up with something new.

Does anybody know if the bodies of these are all routed for humbuckers in the neck position or did Guild have to change the route for this new version? If so, these would be a great platform for trying different pickups as all you need is a new pickguard.

I was dreaming of the purple one with a black pickguard, but with the three-pickup configuration!!

Ah that's the deal, thanks!

I was disappointed to see, on Instagram, the unboxing clips Guild is showcasing show these coming in Cordoba shipping boxes.

We’ve seen this color before in the earlier Starfire releases.

Have not seen any pictures of a removed pickguard yet. I wonder if any of the LTG owners checked yet what is under the pickguard.

Yes! And the Canyon Dusk is currently used on the X-175 Special.

So, can one easily split the HB on a regular Surfliner to get a single-coil sound there?

On the new ones with HB-2, it's already done.

The LB-1 on the original Surfliner is not wired for splitting.
