Sure I can find one. You on for tomorrow? I'm starting to get quite choked up at such a mass funeral.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: what's the best colour guild surfliner?
It’s very unstrat to me. Also in terms of single coil lexicons it has a humbucker so ….
I believe an evolution of their surfliner that never ‘surfed’ due to silly lack of trem and funny switches.
As such I don’t see it as something that’s just popped up to satiate the throbbing offset hipster hordes.
Mind you I have similarly strong reactions to strats proper. So….
So…..
Maybe go rub your Princeton, you’ll feel better.
That said it is just a funny pink wobbly guitar with shiney bits.

Re: what's the best colour guild surfliner?
I do understand and you are right (rubbing Princeton furiously). But It sounds just like a Strat (with a humbuggy) and it's not .... oh heck I don't know! I certainly don't want one. Be happy, enjoy... you can play it infinitely better than I could anyway. Go Pink. It's wrong in every way, just like the rest of the guitar.StrummersOfThunder wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 8:36 pmIt’s very unstrat to me. Also in terms of single coil lexicons it has a humbucker so ….

You don’t have to have one Bruce. And luckily they aren’t bringing many in so the chances of you being assaulted by one in the bingo lounge is very low (but never zero)Slowy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 8:44 pmI do understand and you are right (rubbing Princeton furiously).

My favourite colour?
It might work in white. On a white background.

Well the pinks have it by a huge margin and will govern without having to form a coalition.
Massive reshuffle of portfolios with mustang style looking to take over the bridge portfolio and a substantial swing away from the historically liberal ‘tremolo spring’ electorate to a hard line conservative ultra right wing AVRI high tension spring.

Re: what's Slowy’s favourite colour guild surfliner?
Update:
I went and tried the pink surfliner at a prominent local musical instrument retailer.
Verdict. Ewwww
This guitar feels cheap. Like Cheeeaaapppp
Very very light, plasticy (almost soft) poly.
The fit and finish was very poor. The apperture for the pickup switch was ragged and primer could be seen (I think) around the sides of it (brown rough goop).
The pickups were really. Almost sounded like a strat. ANd they looked very plasticy and cheap too. The bridge humbucker didnt impress.
Fret ends were sharp. Trem and bridge were zongy and rattly.
TBH I dont know if ive played a work $1000+ guitar ?
It felt like a $300 guitar.
So... there you have it
The Guild shart liner
