Sleek Mahogany Body Resonates With Warmth

String-Thru Body Sustains Endlessly

Single notes sing with exceptional resonance. Let your ideas shine through with the Polara's singing sustain.
Set Neck Offers Stability and Comfort

Uncovered HB-2+ Humbuckers Articulate Dynamics
Oversized Guild HB-2+ humbuckers serve up exceptional clarity and character. Their uncovered design exposes the Alnico V magnets, capturing string vibration with enhanced sensitivity for articulate dynamics. Compared to the original Guild HB-1, the HB-2+ pickups boast higher output to cut through a mix. Their vintage-voiced tonality adds pleasing warmth, while black pole pieces lend an eye-catching esthetic. Dial in anything from glassy cleans to raunchy overdrive with the master volume and tone controls.
Striking Color Options Stand Out on Stage
Available in bold finishes like Phantom Green, Blue Steel and Voltage Yellow, the Polara makes a vibrant visual statement on stage. The gloss finish not only looks fantastic, but it protects the mahogany body from dings and scratches during transport and performance. This is one guitar that is sure to turn heads.
Quality Hardware for Great Tuning Stability
The Polara comes equipped with a tune-o-matic bridge and Rotomatic tuners for excellent tuning stability even during heavy use. The nickel hardware matches the gloss finish nicely. The no-frills hardware setup keeps the focus on smooth playing feel and great tone.
