Guild's Famed Rock Machine Gets the Deluxe Treatment
Laden with attention-grabbing appointments, the Guild Polara Deluxe is a modern iteration of the company's historic rock machine. Like its predecessors, this solidbody electric guitar brandishes a familiar double-cut profile with slightly offset horns and a hand-filling Vintage Soft "U"-shaped neck. Plug in, and you'll experience vintage-tinged tones to match this guitar's visuals, courtesy of a set of scorching-hot HB-2+ humbuckers. The Polara Deluxe was clearly built to be played; its 22-fret, 12.5-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard is the perfect mechanism for unleashing thunderous riffage, blistering leads, and all the other fleet-fingered fretwork in your six-string repertory. This guitar's Guild Tune-o-matic bridge and compensated stoptail tailpiece offer extreme hand-resting comfort, and its 18:1-ratio open-gear tuners ensure rock-solid stability in every musical situation. Lastly, a pearloid headstock inlay and block fingerboard inlays, ivory fingerboard binding, and gleaming nickel pickup covers give the Guild Polara Deluxe a spotlight-worthy look that's guaranteed to turn heads.

Based on a classic 1970s Guild solidbody
The Polara Deluxe puts a modern spin on Guild's '70s-era iterations. Like its forerunners, this Polara Deluxe is built around a solid mahogany body with an imposing offset design. Sweetwater guitarists find that the Polara Deluxe's mahogany Vintage Soft "U" neck profile provides a slightly chunky yet eminently comfortable grip that brings to mind the Guilds of yesteryear. Lastly, it's topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard with a slick-playing 12.5-inch radius for maximum playing comfort.
Guild humbuckers pack serious heat
The Guild Polara Deluxe comes equipped with a set of HB-2+ humbuckers. These Alnico II-fueled behemoths are teeming with rich, vintage-tinged tone, but with enough output to give your guitar amplifier a serious kick in the teeth. Whether you're aiming for articulate cleans or down-tuned sludge, HB-2+ humbuckers will deliver the goods, session after session and night after night. To top it off, the Polara Deluxe includes individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, supplying you with all the sonic versatility you could ask for.
Packed with deluxe appointments
When Guild designed the modern Polara Deluxe, they definitely gave it the deluxe treatment — every inch of this axe screams "high end." For starters, it flaunts a pearloid Guild peak logo and pearloid block fingerboard inlays. Its Indian rosewood fingerboard boasts eye-popping ivory binding. You also get light-catching nickel pickup covers. The Polara Deluxe also sports a Guild compensated stoptail tailpiece to complement its Tune-o-matic bridge, as well as Guild vintage-style, 18:1-ratio, open-gear tuning machines.
