    They put a vibrato on!!!! Awesome. The absence of one before was one of the most mind-boggling decisions ever. I mean it's called a Surfliner....

    That Deluxe-that's a nice-looking headstock. Something 98% of guitar makers get (horribly) wrong when trying to diverge from the established Fender and Gibson forms.
    Not sure i like the tone of it, though-harsher than i'd want to hear on a tune like Lenny. But maybe that's a choice. Well done, Guild, though-coming up with a design taht looks classic while not being a direct copy of what we already know.

    Sadly you can't do the bridge and neck combo with the deluxe. It would've been perfect otherwise. For that reason I'll go with the standard one.

    @ 4:18 I really enjoyed hearing your rendition of ‘Lenny’ by SRV. I was listening to that song earlier this week, so to hear it being played on a guitar I’m interested in purchasing was a bit reassuring.

    I love my Surfliner.
    Mine has the three switches.
    I did however, have it modded so i now have the three switches but con centric pots for each pickup.
    Basically there is nothing it can’t do now.
    It’s goddam magic, these guitars.

      They could leave the blade switch, add a push switch on the tone pot to turn either the middle or neck off and on to make the pickup selections equal the other set up

    Man, I'm loving that Surfliner Deluxe model. Surf my arse. That's a rock machine. I hate super strats but this I really like. I was considering a a jazz master or a strat and this will work and I do not have to choose. The only thing I do not like if the tremolo plate because it is shaped slightly different than the replacements that you can buy to upgrade that type of Tremolo so holes will be need to drilled to upgrade it and I wish they would recess those like they do on most back plates. Why bother recessing the back and not the part that is most visible? Makes no sense but they all do it.
