Watch as RJ Ronquillo demonstrates the full tonal spectrum of the new Guild Polara Kim Thayil.
As part of Guild's 70th anniversary, Guild is excited to introduce the Polara Kim Thayil, an all-new signature model celebrating Soundgarden's iconic lead guitarist and his connection of over 30 years to the S-100 Polara. A pioneer of the "Seattle Sound,” Kim is synonymous with the iconic grunge tone of the '80s & ‘90s, all of which originated from his Guild S-100.
This signature model takes its specs from two of Kim's most iconic guitars. His favorite, a 1978 Guild S-100 Polara in Natural and his go-to stage guitar, a white model with gold hardware. The all Mahogany body and set neck, Guild 70s large headstock, and flagship HB-1 Humbuckers with phase switch were pivotal to creating Kim's signature guitar.
