FEATURES

  • Solid Double Cutaway Mahogany Body and Mahogany Neck with Guild 70’s Headstock
    Utilizing Mahogany bodies and Guild 70’s large headstock reflect Kim’s favorite features of his ’78 S-100.
  • Soundgarden “King Animal” Truss Rod Cover and “Badmotorfinger” Signature Back Cover
    Honoring 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.
  • 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 Polaras. 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 favorite S-100 Polara models.
