Picture this: it’s a typical day in my home studio, and I’m scrolling through Instagram, lost in a world of guitar posts. Suddenly, something catches my eye—a sleek, black silhouette that feels like it was designed just for me. The Guild Polara Night Edition was calling my name. I knew I had to have it.
Fast forward to today, and I’m about to unbox it live on my channel. Join me as I share my thoughts, experiences, and a few surprises along the way. There’s even a video!
The Excitement of Unboxing
As I carefully cut through the packaging, my heart races. It feels like Christmas morning, but instead of toys, I’m unwrapping a piece of art. The first thing that strikes me is the guitar’s deep, rich black finish. It’s not just any black; it’s a void that seems to absorb all light, making it stand out in a way that only the most premium guitars can.
Well, as I imagine premium guitars to be at least. I can’t afford a premium car. Possibly because I spend too much money on guitars. But, I digress.
When I finally hold it in my hands, I can’t help but admire the simplicity of its design. No pickguard, just the guitar body, a single pickup, and a volume knob. This minimalism is perfect for someone like me who prefers to keep things straightforward. The absence of a complicated setup means I can plug it in and start playing right away.
It was this simplicity that drew me to this guitar instead of something like a Gibson or Epiphone SG. I’ve often admired the double horn guitar body shape, but I’ve never liked all of the accessories those guitars came with.
Sound That Speaks Volumes
Once I plug the guitar into my computer, the magic begins. With only one setting—the bridge pickup with the volume cranked up—I dive straight into a world of sound. The clean tones are surprisingly crisp, and when I switch to distortion, it’s like a whole new instrument emerges. The guitar responds beautifully, encouraging me to play more and more. It’s lightweight—incredibly light—which means I can jam for hours without feeling fatigued.
I’ve always believed that the best guitars inspire you to play, and this one does just that. The more I play, the more I want to explore its capabilities. This guitar isn’t just a tool; it’s an extension of my creativity.
A Personal Connection
Another thing that makes this guitar special to me isn’t just its looks or sound; it’s the connection I feel with it. I reached out to Toby at Underdog Guitars after spotting it online. The experience of buying from a small—and somewhat local—business adds a personal touch that larger retailers often lack. Toby’s passion for guitars shines through, making me feel like I’m part of a community rather than just another customer.
As I sit here playing, I think about how this guitar fits my style of music—mostly what I somewhat jokingly refer to as old man metal. It’s a term I use affectionately, reflecting my love for classic riffs and heavy tones. The Guild Polara Night Edition is the perfect companion for my musical journey.

Final Thoughts on the Build Polera Night Edition
In a world overflowing with choices, finding the right guitar can feel overwhelming. But sometimes, a particular instrument just resonates with you. The Guild Polara Night Edition is more than just a guitar; it’s a reflection of my musical identity. Its design, sound, and the experience of acquiring it have made it a cherished addition to my collection.
If you’re in the market for a new guitar, I highly recommend seeking out something that speaks to you personally. Whether it’s a unique design, a specific sound, or even the story behind its creation, let your passion guide you. After all, music is about connection—both with the instrument and with yourself.
So, here’s to many more hours of playing and exploring what this beautiful black guitar can do. I can’t wait to share more of my journey with you all!
