(ARCHIVE) Guild Surfliner HH Canyon Dusk 2022
- Description
- Guitarchives
Guild Surfliner, Audi grey, made in China 2022. This is a lot of fun. The Surfliner series is named after a train that traverses the California coast, and takes inspiration from some of the quirky Guild shapes of decades gone by. It sits nicely in the hands: comfy C neck with a satin finish, angled headstock, well balanced offset body, tidy finish and fretwork... it's good. The pickups use alnico II magnets, which are brighter and cleaner than the more common alnico V. It's not super far from a Tele Deluxe in tone, with a singing top end, open mids and a nice little thumpy kick down low. It's got a nice balance of pithy articulation and creamy smoothness, which works super well for punk, indie or surf stuff. I reckon this is a bit of a quiet achiever, it's. a charming little buddy.
