Guild Polara Kim Thayil Black
The Guild Polara Kim Thayil is a signature electric that channels the raw power and dark tone of Soundgardens legendary guitarist with a style all its own. Built around a solid mahogany body and neck with a classic 70sera Guild headstock, this double cut guitar serves up warm, articulate tone and strong midrange punch perfect for rock and grunge inspired riffs.
Its dual Guild HB1 humbuckers with Alnico II magnets deliver rich, expressive output with plenty of clarity and heft, while the 3way toggle and phase switch add versatility and tonal colour beyond the expected. The sleek black gloss finish with gold hardware and subtle Soundgarden nods ; like the Badmotorfinger rear cover and King Animal truss rod cover give the guitar serious stage presence.
Comfortable playability comes from a vintage soft U profile neck and rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays, plus reliable Grover Rotomatic tuners, TuneOMatic bridge and compensated stop bar tailpiece. Whether youre chasing classic rock tones, gritty alternate tunings or expressive overdriven leads, the Polara Kim Thayil stands out as a bold, performance ready signature instrument with authentic legacy vibes.
