Guild Guitars Polara range is expanding in 2024 and includes a host of new colour options, across the range. Including a new colour for Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil.
Guild Polara
Guild Guitars Polara range now consists of Standard, Night Edition, Deluxe, Artist Signature, and USA models.
The new HB-2+ pickups are modern developments of the sought-after Guild HB-1 Oversized Humbucker, built in traditional humbucker size with Alnico V magnets. The hot-wound HB-2+ pickups offer a variety of tones with lots of character. Black pole pieces add even more vibe, while the master and tone controls are reduced to just two potentiometers, further underlining the Polara’s straightforward and sober design.

The base model is available in Polara Blue Steel, Phantom Green, and the eye-catching Voltage Yellow.
