Impressive for the price

Frankieee 27.10.2025

First of all, I want to add that I returned this instrument, not because I didn't like it overall, but because I must have gotten a bad apple : either I couldn't set it up properly (I'm not an expert luthier) or the neck was faulty (I couldn't get rid of some fret buzz) so instead of taking it to a luthier and pay extra, I just returned it and got a second hand Polara S100. Despite my bad experience I definitely recommend this model, it sounds fabulous, neck is fast and comfy and it's super light weight. All in all I'm a huge fan of Guild guitars. They have their own personality and are generally high quality for the price (WAY better than Epiphone in the same price range). I however have a preference for the earlier model (Polara S100) because those are made in Korea therefore better quality overall, while the deluxe is made in Indonesia and maybe explains my one bad experience. But I don't want to deter you from buying one, they are amazing instruments (they sound like much higher end ones) but you might have to do some setting up which I wasn't skilled enough to do.

Eine insgesamt sehr gut verarbeitete, optisch ansprechende und gut bespielbare Gitarre. Ein paar Details:
- Lackierung ohne Fehler
- ausgewogenes Handling mit 3,15 kg, flaches Brett und keine Kopflastigkeit
- die Mechaniken sind gewöhnungsbedürftig, bisher stabil
- Humbucker sind sehr gut und mit recht hohem Output, wobei beide splitbar sind
- Klang trocken recht hart, aber noch angenehm, am Verstärker in allen Belangen überzeugender Klang und Druck
- ein guter Allrounder für alle Richtungen
- Preis-Leistung eindeutig mit in vorderste Reihe, also top
Was habe ich verändert:
- Saiten gewechselt (Geschmackssache)
- zwei Bünde minimal abgerichtet
- Sattelkerben nachgefeilt, denn die waren extrem eng (einziger Minuspunkt!)
- Saitenabstand und Höhe Humbucker angepasst
- Intonation leicht korrigiert
Zusammengefasst: für mich gegenüber den Preisen der Konkurrenz mit teils weniger Austattung ein echtes Schnäppchen!

Hammer!

Dunno why… if it is how it’s built or the humbuckers… this chugs like a schecter metal guitar. I love high gain sounds, but love classic guitars. This is the way. And if you like clean and crunch tones, it’s perfect, too. Well built, nice look, nice tone, nice feel and if you want it chugs like a monster. 😍 Buy. 🙃

Excellente après quelques réglages

CM 07.09.2025

Je suis fan des guitares de forme SG et dérivés, celle-ci je l'ai acheté pour en faire une machine à Stoner, Sludge, Doom.

Elle a de belles finitions générales, cependant la qualité des plastiques de boutons de potentiomètres font un peu cheap au toucher.
La guitare n'arrive pas réglée, au déballage elle frise à mort, il va falloir jouer de la clé 6 pans et divers tournevis pour les hauteurs de chevalet et micros.

Après un remplacement de cordes pour du 11-56 et les réglages adaptés c'est un plaisir de jeu.
Les micros ont vraiment leur identité, je vais devoir les apprivoiser mais rien de rebutant.

[edit du 31 octobre 2025 : Micros remplacés par des EMG Hot 70.]

Conclusion, si vous voulez une guitare jouable dès la sortie du carton ; passez votre chemin.
Mais si vous aimez vraiment son aspect, comme moi, elle en vaut la peine.

+++ Je possède également la version "Night Edition Tungsten" acheté en B-Stock, les mêmes petits soucis au déballage, j'ai remplacé le chevalet qui était source de buzz par un Gotoh et ça va vraiment mieux, je vais certainement remplacer le micro dans le futur.

[edit du 10novembre 2025 : Le micro d'origine a laissé sa place sur la "Night Edition Tungsten" pour un DiMarzio X2N.]
