CAN I SPLIT THE GUILD SURFLINERS HUMBUCKER? - plus exploring the vibrato and body routing
The Guild Surfliner $699 Sweetwater: sweetwater.sjv.io/nLXLK6 is the newest wigglesticked offset in my life and I'm ready to explore it's modding possibilities. Mid video I decided to take the plunge and attempt a coil split on the humbucker for a surfier/twangier bridge pickup sound. I got it done but had some self inflicted snafus on the way.

I fix guitars for fun. I definitely don’t want to be a tech for a living either I offer my friends free set ups and mods if they have the parts. It helps me get to play all sorts of weird guitars.
J U S T doing this with my latest offset -gonna spinAsplit the pups using the tone knob cuz it’s so darn DARK I’ll never turn down the tone👍
Adding a coil split switch is actually pretty easy. Do yourselves a favor and buy a cheap guitar to practice modding on. Im only 3 years into the guitar world and i have 13 guitars all with some sort of modification i did, whether it be different pickups or pots, treble bleed, coil splits or killswitches. Or i built, finished, and wired completely myself. The more you know...
I gotta admit, my guitar modding is usually in an attempt to save a guitar rather than personalize it. And not really in the "it's not good enough" sort of saving but in the sense of rebuilding to make it better when something goes awry, like replacing the pots in my talman when they started to get bad. I kinda want to replace the strat style trem on it with an offset style trem now that the knife edge of the trem has worn down some but not sure what I gotta do routing wise to make it work.
I kinda prefer the mistake because we’ve all been there
Great video! I have a mod suggestion to make it the ULTIMATE SURF GUITAR. But since there's only 1 tone knob, you'll have to install it on the back cavity plate. If you get a blender pot (see Emerson 5-way blender) you can run all the pickups in parallel. This will allow the bridge and neck in parallel.
Surf it up!!!
There is no can.. there is only do
Very cool!!
3rd type of mod: to make it more versatile for recording/gigging.

This is the kind of GREAT CONTENT I only find here!
Mods I would do: 3 Filtertrons, Phase switch and push/pull for neck and bridge together.
This was perfect! I had the questions in my head (hadn't searched anything yet), and this video pooped up with all of my Qs answered! Thank you!
I love this model. When I saw the original I was really hoping they'd do a bigsby or jm trem. Awesome that they put this out!
Very nice work Ryan, even with the detours.
You give me confidence for modding. I might have never started without your videos. I figured - If that weirdo Ryan can do it then I must be able to!
That guitar sounds great. Good job, Ryan.
Best clean and surf sounds on KZread!
