Kim Thayil of Soundgarden's main guitar is the Gibson SG-like Guild S-100.
In Premier Guitar, Thayil noted:
"I was 18 or so
and bought it used in 1978
for about $200. But once I
really started to play that first
S-100, I realized how well it
played with low action. The
SG neck was thicker and
the fretboard seemed wider,
and my hands couldn’t really
navigate that as easily as the
S-100. I really like the stock
Guild pickups—I have all the
original Guild pickups in my
S-100s—because they produce
a hot, loud, rambunctious
tone, which I love!"
"Plus, the
stock tuning pegs on the Guild
S-100s are Grovers and they
have the perfect ratio and really
take a lot of force to get out
of tune."
