Description

Rock grunge legend Soundgarden's Kim Thayil's signature guitar brings vintage bite to modern players. Mahogany body and neck deliver rich sustain, while the comfortable "U" shape neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard invite effortless playing. Guild's HB-1 humbuckers with Alnico II magnets crank out warm, articulate tones, perfect for Thayil's iconic heavy riffs. Dive into tonal experimentation with the vintage-accurate phase switch. Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure rock-solid tuning for aggressive palm muting. Adorned with iconic "King Animal" and "Badmotorfinger" artwork, this guitar is a piece of grunge history waiting to be unleashed. Available in stunning vintage white with gold hardware.
