The Guild “Night Edition” in Black Tungsten Gloss Finish is part of the base model Polara platform, which includes Deluxe, Artist Signature, and USA options above it. They pack 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 stop bar design first introduced in the early 1970s.
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 Body with Ultra-playable Set Neck Design
The Polara’s 24 ¾ scale length 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 Ebony fingerboard, black metal headstock “Peak” logo and all-black hardware to compliment a dark Tungsten finish.
