Perhaps the most frequent question I've been getting asked lately is which of these two electric guitars would I choose, and so I thought it was time for a shootout video comparing the Guild Surfliner Deluxe and Reverend Double Agent OG. Both are great instruments with fun designs, a variety of tones and some great features. Both Guild Guitars and Reverend Guitars have been producing some impressive and affordable electric guitars for quite some time, and while these two have their differences, both would be solid options for many guitarists looking for a reliable, great sounding, fun new electric guitar. They're definitely two of the best electric guitars under $1k.
