Guild Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) S-100 Polara Electric Guitar, Vintage White

Crafted with a Mahogany body and neck, adorned with a Guild 70’s headstock, the Polara Kim Thayil pays tribute to Kim’s favourite features from his ’78 S-100. Equipped with Grover Original Rotomatics tuners for stability, Guild HB-1 Humbuckers with Alnico II Magnets for warm yet articulate timbre, and a phase accurate to vintage spec. The Polara Kim Thayil features the “Badmotorfinger” back cover and “King Animal” truss rod cover, emblematic of Soundgarden’s legacy. A bound Rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, Tune-o-Matic bridge & compensated stopbar tailpiece enhance playability. Celebrating Guild’s 70th anniversary, this model embodies Kim’s distinctive style and connection to the S-100 Polara.

Mahogany body and neck with Guild 70’s headstock

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 band mates.

Additional features include a bound Rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, 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 Polara. 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 models.

DELIVERY

We aim to dispatch all orders placed by 2pm on the same working day (not guaranteed). 

Standard free delivery orders are usually sent by Royal Mail unless oversize in which case they are sent by courier.  This usually takes up to 3 working days.  Express delivery orders are sent on a next working day service.  For clarity, this means an order placed on Friday will be delivered on the following Monday (or next working day thereafter in the event of a bank holiday).  

Items weighing over 2kg or in excess of 50cm in any dimension will be sent by courier.  UK deliveries to Highlands & Islands will be subject to a £12.00 surcharge.  Ebay's systems do not have any facility to set postage rates based on postcode so, in these cases, we will contact you once you have placed your order to collect the surcharge.
