I love my surfliner. If only they would do a deluxe in sparkle orange….
What color did you order?Just got a shipping update, Friday by the end of the day.
Black, I really like white or natural but black is fall back choice.What color did you order?
Always with the Fender floating vibrato, but I'd say only 30% of my Bigsby-equipped guitars experience string ringing. It's an idiosyncrasy that gives them their charm.Do you get strange harmonics from other trems, GG?
If you disassemble the tailpiece and clean up any roughness in the area circled in this picture, you might be able to rehabilitate the OEM tremolo. I’ve seen examples where the flat surface on the end of the bent portion was slightly rounded to make the action smoother.The roller bridge maintains a good string angle, too. Now that the vibrato action is smoother, I can feel the roughness in the vibrato tailpiece itself. As I noted in my initial NGD post, this unit is about on par with the crappy floating vibrato Fender uses on their Asian imports. At least with the Fenders, you can drop in a US-made Fender vibrato, but not so with the Guild (I think it can be done with some tinkering, but one of the screw holes will be showing on the top).
This is a drop-in fit for the S-100 Deluxe and Surfliner Deluxe, but probably some other Newark Street models as well.Hey GG can you post a link to that roller bridge part?
to save wood.Nice roller bridge!
Those Surfline's look delicious in LTG pictures moresothan on sellers' websites.
BTW, why do you think they decided to do the funky, but nice looking headstock to neck attachment the way they did, and not just a one piece neck?
