Guild Surfliner Deluxe - $600

This is a very well built HSS style guitar.
I would say it is a little beefier than a vintage strat.
Locking tuners and great fretwork.
A super value for money.
From the manufacturer: HSS Pickup Configuration Featuring DeArmond Aerosonic Single Coil and Guild HB-2 Humbucker Pickups Outfitted with a bridge HB-2 Humbucker with Alnico II magnets, the HB-2 was developed to recreate the rich, warm tone of vintage Guild humbuckers in a standard size format.
The HB-2 is paired perfectly with the chiming single-coil tones of the two DeArmond Aerosonic middle and neck pickups.
The Surfliner Deluxe debuts a classic 5-way blade switch.
This instantly recognizable pickup switching offers quick access from rhythm to solo tones at the flick of a switch.
New Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (GFVT) Developed for the Surfliner Deluxe – the new Guild Floating Vibrato Tailpiece (GFVT) opens the Surfliner platform to new playing styles, capable of a broad range of vibrato effects, from subtle flutters to deep swells.
The GFVT is equipped with a nylon insert and easily accessible tension screw for ultimate control of bar tension.
Featuring an embossed “G” for classic Guild DNA.
