Guild Guitars Surfliner Solid Body Electric Guitar White Sage - Classic Styling with Modern Features, Guild Rocker Pickup Switching System with Master Volume, Tone Control and 3 Switches

This guitar exceeds expectations. Arrived quickly and setup was nice right out of the box. Very comfortable to play and very nice looking. This thing makes jangly/spanky sounds that none of my other guitars can do. Puts my Tele to shame. It suddenly made me want to learn a bunch of Smiths songs. I haven't seen better craftsmanship at this price point. It's quality you can feel in your hands. My only concern was the packaging did not seem adequate - single box, one piece of styrofoam against the bottom of the guitar, and a folded price of cardboard around the headstock. I felt lucky that it arrived unscathed. Highly recommend finding one at your local store and trying it for yourself. Unless you're after death metal, you will fall in love.

Good guitar, however mine came needing fret polishing and I didn't like the light neck, so I darkened it with old English. After a few minutes work, it plays wonderful. Very good deal if you are handy and like cool looking guitars.

Excellent guitar. Retro styling with a really attractive color scheme and aesthetics. Quality that far outpaces the price. Easy to use on/off switches for pick-ups. Excellent tone and came set-up and ready to play. Excellent guitar for someone looking for a quality instrument at a near beginner level price point.

Cool guitar. Color more to the Pale green-Silver. Frets not worked, needs to be set-up. Sonically good. Barely fits in a Strat case.dj

Neck was sanded wood; no finish. Every fret had spurs at both ends.

Well set up out of the box. Packaging was a bit mishandled but no damage to guitar. The neck and fingerboard were a bit dry. The strings needed to be replaced. Based on some of the other reviews I’ve read, some expectation management is needed. You are ordering a guitar off of the internet and receiving it strait from the shipper. When you go to a guitar shop and buy an instrument it has been set up, the strings have been changed, any rough frets have been touched up, the fret board and neck (if unfinished) have been oiled. This is an amazing guitar for the money. That doesn’t mean it may not need a setup, or a truss rod adjustment out of the box. My set up was great out of the box, that’s pretty lucky. Even though these instruments are set up prior to shipping, they are coming from Indonesia. Temperature and humidity changes can cause the set up to foul in shipping. A rough fret or two on a sub $500 guitar is not an issue. Take it to your local shop, have it set up and adjusted with some brand new strings. I’m super happy with it and I think most players will be too.

Real solid guitar. Love the different sounds that this thing can make. Awesome color too.

I like the guitar when open it from the box great sound, great look I love that silver color. The pick up selections love it.
