Kim Thayil S-100 Coming

[DrumBob]

I will be getting the new Kim Thayil S-100 for review from Cordoba soon. It's an import guitar, but there will be a US-made version coming at the beginning of September that I'm sure will interest many of you.

Looking forward to it. Thayil is one of my favorite players from the 90's.

Say what now!

I don't see this on their website or any announcements. Don't want you to get in trouble for violating any NDAs!

 

[hagmeat]

I'm definitely interested.

Wonder what the diff will be. Adding back the phase switch? He doesn't really have any real distinct cosmetic appointments...they're all pretty vanilla other than some with gold hardware.

Good question!

If a US-built S-100 is coming, regardless of a Kim Thayil endorsement, that'd be a huge deal for us... I wonder if it'll come from Oxnard or some other facility. One has to wonder if this has been happening with Yamaha's oversight..

Well, MLBob has stoked the fire. Looking forward to hearing (a lot) more!

Wonder what the diff will be.

K.T. sig on the back of the headstock? Different finish colors? A black hole sun on the headstock?

I'm thinking fretboard inlay. But I like the signature on the back of the headstock idea! Also, some sort of custom TRC, maybe?

Already got mine! Ebony, with colored pearloid. One for each S-100!

Outstanding, Hammer! Those are very cool.

 

[Boneman]

That sounds very interesting, US made electric Guilds!? That’d be so cool. Kim was a huge influence on me back in the late 80s, never forget listening to those early sub pop records and Soundgarden stood out with Chris Cornell’s insane vocals and the songs had no real guitar leads, just a garden of sound, lol, instantly loved them and thought see, you don’t have to shred, you got this!

 

[drc]

I'll be buying one

 

[Hammer]

I'll be buying one

I'll buy one if it's made in the US, and there is something significantly Thayil specific about it...or if it comes in weird colors.

It hasn't been formally announced. I thought you would have figured that out.

What a tease!!!

Sigh.

 

[DrumBob]

I get emails from the people at Cordoba when there are new models in the works, because I write for a guitar magazine. I thought that was common knowledge here.

If you guys would rather I don't mention them, then that's fine with me.

US made signature Guild? I wonder if it will be priced like Gibson sig series guitars or more like a standard US production model.

I guess the second toggle will have to go on there in the case of the sig S-100.
