We said this Guild “reminds you exactly why you fell in love” with guitar – and you can get an incredible 20% off it at Reverb
The Guild Polara is an ultra-light, rock-ready machine with simple yet effective controls, and you can now get your hands on it for less than $500.
Launched at NAMM in 2024, this Polara range followed on from the success of Guild’s 2023 collaboration with Kim Thayil. This standard version is the most affordable of the lot – among the Deluxe, Artist Signature, and USA versions – and you can now get a further 20 percent off it via the zZounds Reverb shop, knocking it down to $439.95.

We reviewed the Polara shortly after its launch, and awarded it a glowing 8/10. While its no frills layout means it’s not the most versatile guitar, we loved its striking aesthetics and described it as a “tone-packed rock machine” that will “remind you exactly why you fell in love” with guitar in the first place.
A brilliantly accessible model, the standard Polara offers uncovered HB-2+ pickups, described as “modern extensions” of the coveted Guild HB-1 oversized humbuckers built in a traditional size with Alnico V magnets. A diagonal string layout matches Guild’s compensated stop bar design first introduced in the early 1970s, and its string-through body design delivers glorious sustain.
This double cut dream offers plenty of access to the upper frets for soloing and classic rock shredding. It has an ultra-light ergonomic Mahogany body, making it an ideal workhorse guitar, and a mahogany U-shaped neck hosting a rosewood fingerboard. Its uber sleek and simple design is completed with basic controls for master volume and tone.
Infallible for players of all abilities, this standard Polara is sold brand-new through Reverb and comes in a vibrant Voltage Yellow colour. Hear it in-play in the video below:
