Mahogany body and neck with guild 70s headstock
Utilising Mahogany bodies and Guild 70s large headstock reflect Kims favourite features of his 78 S-100.
Soundgarden king animal truss rod cover and Badmotorfinger signature back cover
Honouring the long-standing legacy of Soundgardens 1991 album, Badmotorfinger and their 2012 album, King Animal, these symbols are quintessentially grunge and pay tribute to Kim and his band mates.
Additional features include a bound Rosewood fingerboard with Pearloid block inlays, Tune-o-Matic bridge & compensated stopbar tailpiece. Available in a Black and Vintage White gloss finish with gold hardware.
Grover original Rotomatics® tuners
Per Kims request, the signature model features Grover Original Rotomatics® tuners for stability and ease of use. Standard on vintage S-100 Polara models, these tuners are a reliable industry favourite.
guild hb-1 humbuckers with alnico ii magnets
Guilds flagship HB-1 Humbuckers replicate the warm yet articulate timbre of 70s S-100 Polaras. A perfect match for Kims heavy tones, the added clarity of the HB-1s 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 Kims favourite S-100 Polara models.
