Overview and body design
The base model in the Polara platform, which includes Deluxe, Artist Signature, and USA options above it, this Indonesian-built double-cut packs 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.
