Night Edition Features & Aesthetics
Guild Night Edition guitars are distinguished by their vibey “blacked-out” aesthetic. The Polara Limited Night Edition Vintage Walnut guitar’s dark finish is complemented by its ebony fingerboard, black pickguard, black hardware, uncovered black pickups, black metal domed knobs, black composite nut, black truss rod cover, and dark metal headstock. Whether your music dwells in the darker realms, or you simply prefer darker guitars, the Polara Limited Night Edition Vintage Walnut may be the ideal axe for you.
1. Bridge – Hum Canceling - This position has the most “edge” or “bite”. Overwound for a big, powerful tone without sounding too dark, a great tool to push an amp into singing distortion. Perfect for solos or in your face rhythm parts, the HB-2+ humbucker possesses a bold, rich tone that is equally capable in any musical style.
2. Bridge + Neck – Hum Canceling – This position combines the tonalities of the neck and bridge humbuckers. Thick, creamy mids, big, round bass and clear trebles make this a great all-around tone.
3. Neck – Hum Canceling - This position produces a warm, round tone great anything from singing lead lines to clean rhythm lines.
