Maaan, I’m 53 next week & and probably waited 30-40yrs for Kim to get a signature guitar - Love Kim’s style & the riffs he & Chris Cornell came up with. Soundgarden what a band!!
Great video man, thanks for sharing, hope you’re well

[PaulOwens]

My God, that guitar was rumored to be happening about 20 years ago. Can't believe it's actually turned up.

[jerkerjansson]

Awesome! Kim has always been my favourite of the grunge era guitarists. Such a cool and unique style!

[centroproiv]

Damn it looks badass and the tones are very spot on. Great work by Guild.

[robertoortiz]

Lovely guitar! I always wanted a Guild since I fell in love with Soundgarden and saw Kim playing it...I mistakenly thought it was a Gibson Sg but having a closer look at a picture in a magazine and everything was clear... Enjoy it, man! You deserve... All the best.

[jakebsowders]

That’s the most beautiful guitar in the world, Kim’s my #1 all time guitarist ever

[jannetunturi]

Cool. Nice to see something new here 🤘🤘🤘

[justfunguitar]

Just ordered mine, CAN NOT WAIT YO - Thanks for doing this vid Matt, as always your playing is on point!

[jonathanhudak]

Such a cool guitar! You've definitely got Kim's riffs dialed down and some excellent playing! I've got a Polara S-100 in cherry red stain finish and it plays and sounds beautiful!

[NewLifeWithGuitar]

I've only just started learning how to play guitar one month ago but can't wait till I can play like this!

[larebelle]

Great video, thanks. I can't wait for mine to come. I cannot be more grateful for how affordable it is, and easily accessible even in the EU. Kim has always been my favorite, ever since early nineties. The guitar sounds awesome, let alone it looks incredible, Badmotorfinger (the logo!) being the best thing ever recorded. Again, thanks a lot for the demo. Cheers from Poland!

[brinkybrinkz]

Great guitarist, great band and very nice guitar! Now you can rock Searching With my Good Eye Closed or #1 Zero. ❤ Soundgarden! We still love and miss you Chris.

[jcreature]

For that flower song it’s said in their book that for the intro he blew air with his mouth across the string and pickups to get that sound.

[brinkybrinkz]

Love the look and style. It screams Loud Love! Nice purchase Matt. Rock On!

[NathanielBlank]

My first and only signature guitar. Kim Thayil is the most underrated guitar player of the grunge era.

[marcusdluxe]

Great video mate and a great looking guitar

[jeffb]

Alnico 2 magnets, my preferred pups for warmth over 5s

[lukasstarovski]

thx for this.wonderful guitar, great playing, great riffs.my favorite is disturbing Limo Wreck riff, glad you played it :)

[nathanmeek]

Great demo, great looking guitar. Great guitar playing as always. I always wanted a Polara because of Kim. Then I hear this week that Fender is doing a more affordable version of Mike McCready’s 1960 Strat. 😬

[McNoiseboy]

Good video, nice one. Thayil rhymes with 'smile' 😉
