Product Description

Vintage Vibe, Modern Powerhouse

This ain’t your grandpa’s surf guitar—unless your grandpa was seriously cool. This pre-owned 2023 Guild Surfliner Deluxe in Evergreen is a straight-up awesome offset that blends retro-cool aesthetics with a powerhouse HSS pickup configuration. It’s got the slinky feel and expressive shimmer you want from a floating vibrato system, but with the kind of tonal flexibility that can take you from glassy cleans to full-bore rock growl. The Poplar body keeps it light and resonant, and that satin-finished Roasted Maple neck? Pure buttery goodness. This one’s in Very Good Condition, ready for its next chapter of sonic adventures.

Roasted Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

Let’s talk feel. Guild went all-out with a roasted maple neck, which not only looks incredible but adds a ton of stability and a snappy, immediate response. The satin “C” profile feels like an old friend right out of the gate—fast, comfortable, and perfect for long gigs. Paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard and classic block inlays, you get a premium playing experience that feels as good as it looks. The 10″ radius is a sweet spot for both chording and bending.

Versatile HSS Pickup Arsenal

The heart of this guitar’s flexibility is its HSS pickup layout. You get two DeArmond Aerosonic single-coils in the neck and middle positions for all the chime, glass, and quack you could ever want. They’re perfect for surf, indie, or cutting blues tones. Then, kick it over to the bridge and unleash the Guild HB-2 humbucker. Built with Alnico II magnets, it delivers that warm, rich, vintage humbucker punch that’s perfect for driving your amp into sweet overdrive. A simple 5-way blade switch makes navigating your tones a breeze.

Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece

Ready for some shimmer and sway? The Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (GFVT) is engineered for smooth, expressive action. From subtle warbles to deep, dramatic dives, this system provides a stable and responsive feel. It’s the perfect complement to the Surfliner’s offset design, letting you add lush textures to chords or a vocal-like quality to your lead lines.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

It’s fantastic. The roasting process removes moisture, making the neck more stable and resonant. The satin finish is incredibly smooth and fast, so it feels broken-in from day one. It never gets sticky, even during long playing sessions.
Absolutely. While it nails those classic surf tones, the HSS setup is one of the most versatile configurations out there. The DeArmond single-coils give you clarity and sparkle, while the HB-2 humbucker provides the warmth and power for rock, blues, and even heavier styles. It’s a true do-it-all guitar.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
