Offset Aesthetics, Dual Humbucker Power
The Guild Surfliner HH takes a turn from the time-honored surf guitar setup with a pair of raw, powerful HB-2 humbuckers! While these pickups do an admirable job of living up to the Surfliner HH’s namesake genre, they’re equally at home in more aggressive applications, providing a biting treble response and full-range sonic power. Next, the Surfliner HH’s lightweight poplar body and offset-waist shape provide unmatched comfort — sitting and standing. The smooth maple-on-maple neck’s Narrow Jumbo frets and 10-inch radius ensure smooth playability for players of all stripes. Finally, the string-through body and the Tune-o-matic bridge are ideal for players who love the offset look but prefer a more streamlined hardware setup.

Comfortable maple neck
The Surfliner HH sports a beautiful maple-on-maple neck that’s loaded with features to deliver a versatile and comfortable playing experience. The 10-inch fingerboard radius is curved enough to deliver both easy open-position playing and wide enough to prevent your bends from choking out when exploring the Surfliner HH’s higher register. Finally, the “C” shape neck will make players of all varieties feel right at home when playing the Surfliner HH — it’s the standard guitar neck shape for a reason!
Sleek offset style
Everything about the Surfliner HH simply oozes offset style! From the oversized swooping headstock to the three rocking on/off pickup switches (a nod to the wild guitar designs of the '60s), the Surfliner HH is sure to capture the attention of any audience. Plus, it’s not all cosmetic. Apart from looking cool, many Sweetwater guitarists find that offset-waist guitars are some of the most comfortable to play seated.
Vintage-inspired Guild HB-2 Humbuckers
Guild’s HB-2 pickups sport a unique humbucker look with a unique humbucker tone to match. These pickups are a callback to the humbuckers of Guild’s vintage era, with a more treble-focused and defined tone than your average humbucking pickup. This high level of articulation allows HB-2 humbuckers to excel in all manner of traditional humbucker applications — aggressive rock tones, gritty blues leads, and even high-gain crunch — while still retaining enough clarity to cover applications usually reserved for the sparkling sounds of a traditional single-coil pickup.
