Polara Kim Thayil Featurette

As part of Guild’s 70th anniversary and in collaboration with Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, Guild Guitars is proud to introduce the all-new Thayil x Guild range of signature S-100 Polara models. These guitars bring Thayil’s preferred specs and design elements to the famous Polara line, his instrument of choice for over 3 decades. The Polara Kim Thayil model brings Thayil’s signature design elements to a model that sits in Guild’s more accessible Newark St. Collection, including a Mahogany body and set neck with Guild’s distinctive ’70s large headstock with Chesterfield Inlay. Vintage correct HB-1 Humbuckers, complete with Alnico II magnets and phase switch, reproduce Kim’s signature tones. A bound Rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, a Tune-o-Matic bridge, Guild compensated stopbar tailpiece, multi-ply pickguard, Soundgarden “King Animal“ truss rod cover and “Badmotorfinger“ signature back cover, and gold hardware round out each signature instrument.
