Guild Polara Unboxing

Показать описание
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 to rock tones from Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein, the Polara is a versatile instrument with a vibe all its own.

The base model in the Polara platform, which includes Deluxe, Artist Signature, and USA options above it, packs a special combination of timeless design and modern features. Built on a stripped down, no-frills design approach, the Polara has an ultra-light ergonomic body thanks to its contouring and minimalistic hardware package. Notably, a string-through body design transmits string resonance straight through the mahogany body delivering massive sustain and response. A diagonal string layout matches Guild’s compensated stopbar design first introduced in the early 1970s.

The Polara features uncovered HB-2+ pickups, which 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 brings a variety of boutique quality tones with loads of character and voice.

Hard hitting and eye catching colors complimented by the uncovered HB-2+ pickups with black pole pieces bring a vibe that pairs perfectly with the Polara’s offset and rock ready design. Available in Voltage Yellow, Phantom Green and Blue Steel gloss finishes.

Ooh, it comes with a hardcase? That's a beauty! Never heard of this brand before, but I love the yellow one. Like a middle thing between a esp viper and Gibson SG.

Go with the Deluxe that had the thick tailpiece and guildbuckers....more like what Kim Thayil plays, and no too much more!!!

Love the phantom green. Wish you guys would make it an option for the deluxe version. Never stop making these and keep the price the same and they will catch on again. Always owned guilds. The doom and stoner metal crowd will find out about these eventually and will become lusted after.

Too bad they don't make them in black with chrome hardware

Not massively into that clicky over compressed tone. Nice guitar nonetheless
