Guild Polara Blue Steel

The Guild Polara is here presented in an eye-catching Blue Steel finish with Indian Rosewood fretboard. This no-nonsense solid body electric guitar is fitted with twin Guild HB-2+ humbucking pickups which produce everything from warm, round tones to in-your-face power. The strings-through-body design and Tune-O-Matic bridge ensure outstanding sustain and great intonation. The Guild Polara Blue Steel is now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Every guitar we sell receives a comprehensive check over and full setup, ensuring you receive the best possible example. 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.

The Polara features a Mahogany body with a set neck design and 24 ¾ scale length, which 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 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. 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.
