Guild Kim Thayil Signature Guitar

[la szum]

I can definitely see myself picking one up down the road. Sold my '61 SG Reissue so have a spot
open for an SG-style guitar. Fairly priced. Rosewood board and cool Phase switch for the pickups.

Nice guitar. Nicer Mandelbrot!

I like it! Never tried a Polara. Kim is a cool dude too.
I've always like the Starfires though. An old friend had a '59 Starfire that was .

My Soundgarden idolatry always split down the middle between Cornell and Cameron.

Good choice. I hope you can share your performance when you get one.

Here I am in 1983 playing my Guild S-100. Similar to the brown one Thayil has.

Another. Should never have traded it. Might have to pick up one of the new ones.

 

[Jarick]

Interesting choice to do the signature model now, but better late than never. It's actually fairly affordable too.

Fender has DEEP pockets...

love the shape. not a huge fan of black and gold on a SGs but the white one is super hot.

 

[JiveTurkey]

White SGs are best. Black is cool without gold but with gold, not so much.

 

[Gearzilla]

White SGs are best.

Especially with a doubleneck.

I've been wanting to get another S-100 for nostalgia's sake. I stupidly traded my original for a Blues Jr. back in 95. Trying to decide if I should get one of the new ones or get a vintage one I found for $500 more? The vintage looks to have some finish issues on the back of the neck.

 

[Hush]

No longer a dilemma, the vintage is also missing the binding on the neck. That's just a little too beat up for me.

Totally agree, black with silver and white with gold would be a great combo.

 

[Hush]

Played one of the new black ones today. Felt very familiar. Pretty much what I remember my 73 felt like. Had it plugged into a Blues Jr. with a clean setting. Pickup too had the sound I was expecting. Especially liked the neck pickup. Need to sell some of my less used guitars so I don't feel guilty buying this one.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing a first-hand report @Hush .
