The guild Polara Reimagined
The Polara has been a standout in the Guild solid body lineup since the early 1970s. From hard hitting riffs by Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and many others across all genres, the Polara is a versatile instrument with a vibe all its own. Available in base model, Night Edition, Deluxe, Artist Signature and USA configurations.

HB-2+ Humbucker Pickups with Alnico V Magnets
The new uncovered HB-2+ pickups are modern extensions of the coveted Guild HB-1 oversized humbuckers, built in a traditional size humbucker with Alnico V magnets. These hot-wound HB-2+ pickups bring a variety of boutique quality tones with loads of character and voice. Black pole pieces further expand the vibe while simplified master volume and tone controls add to the Polara’s no frills and down to business design.
Mahogany string-thru Body with Ultra-playable Set Neck Design
The Polara features a Mahogany body with a set neck design and 24 ¾ scale length, which is familiar and friendly to all types of players. A Rosewood fingerboard and modern U shape neck with simple dot inlays provide a classic look.

The “Night Edition” trim option brings a blacked-out look, including black metal headstock “Peak” logo and all-black hardware to compliment a dark Tungsten finish.

Cherry Red, Canyon Dusk Metallic and Vintage Sunburst Gloss Finish Options
For those looking for the original 1970s look, a transparent Cherry Red finish over the Mahogany body never disappoints. A Vintage Sunburst option brings some of Guild’s hollow body aesthetics to this updated set neck solidbody, with a hand sprayed burst enhancing the body, neck and headstock. The Canyon Dusk metallic finish, one of Guild’s most popular new finishes, pairs perfectly with the nickel hardware and Rosewood fingerboard.
