The Guild Polara Deluxe is a modern reimagining of Guild’s classic 1970s solidbody design, blending vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance. Crafted with a solid mahogany body and set neck, it delivers rich sustain and a warm tonal foundation. The 24 ¾" scale length and 12.5" fingerboard radius, combined with a vintage soft U-shaped neck, ensure comfortable playability across all styles.

Equipped with Guild’s HB-2+ humbuckers—hot-wound with Alnico V magnets—this guitar offers a versatile tonal palette, from robust rock tones to articulate cleans. The push/pull coil-splitting feature on both volume knobs adds single-coil clarity, enhancing its sonic flexibility.8

Visually, the Polara Deluxe stands out with a bound rosewood fingerboard adorned with pearloid block inlays, and a headstock featuring Guild’s iconic Peak and Chesterfield inlays. The compensated stopbar tailpiece and Tune-o-matic bridge contribute to its resonance and sustain, while the vintage-style open-back tuners ensure precise tuning stability.

Available in Cherry Red, Vintage Sunburst, and Canyon Dusk finishes, the Guild Polara Deluxe is a compelling choice for guitarists seeking a blend of classic design and modern versatility

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 (Coil Split) – Pulling up on the bridge volume knob splits the coils of the bridge humbucker for spanky single-coil tones. This position is great when added clarity is needed. Though lower in output when split, the bridge HB-2+ won’t sound anemic.

3. Bridge (Coil Split) + Neck – This position has a full-frequency, almost acoustic like tone but with added compression and twang from the split bridge pickup.

4. 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.

5. Bridge (Coil Split) + Neck (Coil Split) – Hum Canceling – This position is great for funk with big basses and hollow sounding trebles. This position possesses some of the quack typical of out of phase pickup settings.

6. Bridge + Neck (Coil Split) – A great all-around tone, this position has a similar tone to the full bridge and neck combined but with less emphasized mids. This is a great in-between tone that is warm and full with bell like trebles.

7. Neck (Coil Split) – Pulling up on the neck volume knob splits the coils of the neck humbucker. This gives an added snap to the smooth, creamy tone of the neck humbucker, great for lead lines or rhythm parts that won’t get muddy.

8. Neck – Hum Canceling – This position produces a warm, round tone great anything from singing lead lines to clean rhythm lines.
