About this listing
Guild Polara Deluxe Electric Guitar – Cherry Red | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls The Guild Polara Deluxe is a modern expression of one of Guild's most iconic rock guitar platforms — a solidbody double-cut with a rich 1970s Guild heritage, a hand-filling Vintage Soft U mahogany neck, and a pair of scorching HB-2+ Alnico V humbuckers with push-pull coil-splitting that cover the full tonal range from articulate cleans to down-tuned sludge. Pearloid block fingerboard inlays, ivory fingerboard binding, nickel pickup covers, a Guild Tune-o-matic bridge with compensated stoptail tailpiece, and 18:1 open-gear tuners give the Polara Deluxe a spotlight-worthy aesthetic rooted firmly in vintage rock tradition. In Cherry Red at just 6.10 lbs., this is a guitar that looks, feels, and sounds exactly like a classic Guild rock machine should — with modern playability and tonal versatility that make it equally at home in the studio and on stage. Product Overview The Polara Deluxe's solid mahogany body is the tonal foundation everything is built on — a dense, resonant wood that produces warm, sustain-rich tone with a natural mid-forward character ideally suited to classic rock, blues, and hard rock playing styles. The slightly offset double-cut profile provides excellent upper-fret access while maintaining the comfortable, familiar feel of Guild's 1970s-era solidbody designs, and at 6.10 lbs. the mahogany body sits in a comfortable gigging weight that balances resonant mass with all-day wearability. The polyurethane Cherry Red finish delivers a deep, rich color with excellent durability for regular use — a classic rock guitar color that suits the Polara Deluxe's vintage-inspired character perfectly.The mahogany neck is joined via set neck construction for enhanced sustain and resonance transfer, wearing Guild's Vintage Soft U profile — a slightly chunky, hand-filling carve that provides a confident, comfortable grip reminiscent of vintage Guild instruments from the era that inspired this model. The Indian rosewood fingerboard runs a generous 12.5" radius across 22 narrow jumbo nickel frets, producing a playing surface that accommodates both comfortable chord voicings and clean, effortless lead playing without the fret-out issues that a more curved radius can cause at higher positions. Pearloid block inlays and ivory fingerboard binding give the neck a visually refined, vintage-appropriate appearance, and the 24.75" scale length places the Polara Deluxe in familiar Gibson-adjacent territory that most players will find immediately comfortable.Guild's HB-2+ humbuckers are Alnico V-powered pickups voiced for rich, vintage-tinged tone with enough output to give an amplifier a serious push. At the neck, the HB-2+ produces warm, articulate cleans and smooth lead tones with the natural midrange character that Alnico V magnets are known for. At the bridge, the same pickup delivers the focused, punchy output needed for driving rhythm work and high-gain lead playing — and both positions respond well to volume and tone control adjustments for a wide range of tonal character within each position. Two push-pull volume pots add coil-splitting functionality, transforming each HB-2+ into a single-coil voice for additional tonal versatility — and with individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, the Polara Deluxe provides comprehensive tonal shaping capability across its full pickup switching range.

Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup provide comprehensive tonal shaping, while push-pull coil-splitting on both volume pots adds single-coil voices — giving the Polara Deluxe a broad tonal spectrum from a clean, elegantly designed control layout.Solid Mahogany Body and Set Mahogany Neck Solid mahogany body and set neck construction deliver the warm, sustain-rich tonal character and resonance transfer that has made mahogany the foundation of some of the most celebrated rock electric guitars ever built — enhanced by the set neck joint's contribution to sustain and upper-register resonance.Vintage Soft U Neck Profile with 12.5" Radius Indian Rosewood Fingerboard Guild's Vintage Soft U carve provides a slightly chunky, hand-filling grip reminiscent of 1970s-era Guild instruments, while the 12.5" fingerboard radius and 22 narrow jumbo frets create a comfortable, versatile playing surface for rhythm work, bends, and fleet-fingered lead playing across the full scale length.Guild Tune-O-Matic Bridge with Compensated Stoptail Tailpiece The Guild Tune-o-matic bridge with compensated stoptail provides precise intonation adjustment and comfortable hand-resting position, while the stoptail's string anchoring contributes to the Polara Deluxe's resonant sustain and solid string-to-body coupling.Pearloid Block Inlays, Ivory Binding, and Nickel Pickup Covers Pearloid block fingerboard inlays, ivory fingerboard binding, and gleaming nickel pickup covers give the Polara Deluxe a refined, vintage-rock aesthetic that commands attention on any stage — visual appointments more commonly associated with instruments at significantly higher price points.Guild Vintage 18:1 Open-Gear Tuners Guild's 18:1 ratio open-gear tuning machines provide smooth, precise tuning adjustment with rock-solid stability across extended playing sessions, alternate tuning changes, and the demands of regular gigging.What's Included Guild Polara Deluxe Electric Guitar (Cherry Red)D'Addario EXL110 Strings (.010–.046)Free standard shippingNote: Case sold separately.
