With its compact mahogany body, ultra-playable set neck and hot-wound HB-2+ humbuckers with coil-splitting, this is a sleek, 1970s-inspired workhorse that is ready for everything from classic rock crunch to articulate modern tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlending vintage Guild styling cues with modern playability, the Polara Deluxe feels instantly familiar in the hands. The comfortable 24 3\/4 inch scale, vintage soft U neck and 12.5 inch radius rosewood fingerboard make chords, bends and fast runs feel effortless, while the Cherry Red gloss finish shows off the mahogany grain in true old-school style. Add in the upgraded binding, block inlays and Guild compensated stopbar tailpiece, and you have a solidbody that looks as good as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDeluxe Take on a Classic Polara Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polara Deluxe builds on the base Polara platform with a host of visual and functional upgrades. A bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays gives a distinctly 1970s flavour, complemented by ivory fingerboard binding and a black pickguard with a gold Guild logo. The compact Polara body shape keeps the guitar light and well balanced, while the Cherry Red gloss polyurethane finish delivers that timeless transparent look over solid mahogany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHB-2+ Humbuckers with Coil-Splitting\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuilds HB-2+ humbuckers are modern, hot-wound takes on their legendary HB-1 design, now in a traditional humbucker size with Alnico V magnets. They offer punchy output with plenty of character, from thick, sustaining lead tones to tight, defined rhythm sounds. With individual volume and tone controls for each pickup and push\/pull coil-splitting, you can flip from full, roaring humbucker power to brighter, single-coil style tones at the pull of a knob, giving you a huge palette of sounds on tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eComfortable Mahogany Set Neck\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polara Deluxe features a mahogany set neck with a vintage soft U profile that fills the hand without feeling bulky. The 24 3\/4 inch scale length is instantly comfortable for bends and vibrato, while the 12.5 inch fingerboard radius and narrow jumbo frets make both chords and lead work feel smooth across the neck. Ivory ABS binding frames the Indian rosewood fingerboard, adding a classy visual touch and a subtle, premium feel under the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStable Hardware and Classic Guild Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a Guild compensated stopbar tailpiece provides solid tuning stability and reliable intonation, ideal for players who demand consistency on stage and in the studio.
