GUILD Polara Kim Thayil
Utilizing Mahogany bodies and Guild 70’s large headstock reflect Kim’s favourite features of his ’78 S-100.
Soundgarden “king animal” truss rod cover and “Badmotorfinger” signature back cover
Honouring the long-standing legacy of Soundgarden’s 1991 album, “Badmotorfinger” and their 2012 album, “King Animal,” these symbols are quintessentially grunge and pay tribute to Kim and his bandmates.
Additional features include a bound Rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, a Tune-o-Matic bridge & compensated stopbar tailpiece. Available in a Black gloss finish with gold hardware.
Grover original rotomatics® tuners
Per Kim’s request, the signature model features Grover Original Rotomatics® tuners for stability and ease of use. Standard on vintage S-100 Polara models, these tuners are a reliable industry favourite.
Guild hb-1 humbuckers with alnico ii magnets
Guild’s flagship HB-1 Humbuckers replicate the warm yet articulate timbre of 70’s S-100 Polaras. A perfect match for Kim’s heavy tones, the added clarity of the HB-1’s allow the guitar to cut through the mix. Also equipped with a phase switch, accurate to vintage spec, these features are essential to recreating the magic of Kim’s favourite S-100 Polara mode.
