GUILD S-100 POLARA £749

Harking back to Guild’s second wave of SG-inspired 70s solidbodies, this classic-looking mahogany double-cut comes in three finishes. It features a pair of brightly voiced Alnico II HB-1 humbuckers (the originals of which are prized by Guild aficionados) and a Gibson-style control circuit with three-way toggle pickup selector and individual pickup volume and tone.
