The Newark St. Collection celebrates some of Guild’s most iconic models, including the hard-rocking solid-body S-100 Polara, the semi-hollow and hollow Starfire guitars and basses, and elegant archtop jazz guitars like the A-150 Savoy and X-175 Manhattan. Features include Guild’s famed Vibrato Tailpiece, stoptail pieces, pinned bridges, authentically voiced vintage-style pickups, and classic hardware designs. With a wide selection of models, Guild has always been the first choice for musicians in need of an instrument that’s made to be played.Crafted with a Mahogany body and neck, adorned with a Guild 70’s headstock, the Polara Kim Thayil pays tribute to Kim’s favorite 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 switch 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.Kim's Connection to the S-100 PolaraBorn in Seattle, WA (but raised in Park Forest, Illinois), Kim Thayil picked up his first guitar in the mid 1970's. It was around this time that he bought a Guild S-100 guitar at his local guitar shop, which he notes "ultimately was the one I could afford to buy." Fast-forward a few years, Seattle-based rock band Soundgarden was born, which Kim co-founded with singer Chris Cornell and bassist Hiro Yamamoto in 1984. Using his S-100, Kim created his own original style that helped propel Soundgarden to the top of the Seattle rock heap in the '80s & '90s - where they are still considered one of the greatest grunge bands of all time. With its Guild '70s large headstock, Mahogany construction and HB-1 pickups, the new Polara Kim Thayil captures the same magic Kim discovered while playing his first S-100 Polara.-FEATURES:- Double-cutaway offset mahogany body- Vintage White Gloss finish with gold hardware- "King Animal" truss rod cover and "Badmotorfinger" back cover- Vintage-style Soft U mahogany neck and large headstock- Indian rosewood fingerboard with 24.75" scale length- Guild HB-1 humbucking pickups, 3-way pickup selector- (2) Volume and (2) Tone controls, bridge pickup Phase switch- Tune-o-matic bridge and compensated tailpiece- Grover Original Rotomatics tuners-SPECIFICATION:Body Type : Solid BodyBody Shape : Guild PolaraBody Top : N/A (Solid Body)Body Wood (Solid Bodies) : MahoganyBody Sides : N/A (Solid Body)Body Back : N/A (Solid Body)Neck Material : MahoganyScale Length : 24 3/4" (629mm)Neck Shape : Vintage Soft "U"Nut Width : 1 11/16" (43mm)Neck Thickness 1st Fret : 20mmNeck Thickness 9th Fret : 23mmTruss Rod : Dual ActionTruss Rod Wrench : 4mm Allen KeyFingerboard Material : Indian RosewoodFingerboard Radius : 12.5" (320mm)Fingerboard Inlays : Blocks - PearloidFingerboard Inlay Location : 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17Frets Total : 22Fret Type : Narrow JumboFingerboard Binding : Ivory ABSColor : Vintage White (VWT)Bridge String Spacing : 2" (51mm)Hardware Finish / Plating : GoldBridge : Tune-O-MaticTailpiece : Guild Compensated StopbarNut Material : CompositeTuning Machines : Grover RotamaticStrap Buttons : Vintage PawnPickguard : Polara 5-Ply Black/White/Black/White/BlackBridge Pickup : Guild HB-1 Dual-CoilNeck Pickup : Guild HB-1 Dual-CoilPickup Switch : 3-Way Toggle: 1.
