Using my Polara for a Stoner project. Advice?
Couple of years ago I won a Guild Polara S-100. I really liked it, didn’t play it too much though. As I wanted to get back into making music, I was about to either sell it or exchange it for a guitar that would be more suitable for metal. Actually got some decent offers for it.
Now that I‘ve had it in hand again a few times and watched some videos about it, I think I fell in love with it again. And I realized, unjust needed to rethink it. Lately I kind of saw it as a boring oldtimey Hard Rock guitar but why would that be bad? And wouldn’t it work great as a riff monster for a Stoner Rock band? Always wanted to write some Stoner songs and now that might be my project for summer.
Heavy gauge strings, new set-up for a lower tuning. Any other ideas or mods anybody can recommend for this idea? I’m open to any ideas!
