I guess with the intro of the Kim Thayil Signature model, Guild took the opportunity to discontinue the Korean-made S-100. Wanna bet if the standard S-100 returns, it's made in Indonesia?
Yes, that was Korean. You can see it on the serial number, KWM is Korea World Music, If it starts with "I" it is Indonesian:Would this be Korean? That's the pic, but there's a wait for stock, so guessing what arrives is the Indonesian model?

Cool! Looking forward to your NGD report!Update. I made the purchase !
The one of the left is a NS S-100 Polara with the standard "Newark Street" shape that is basically a '50s Guild headstock with a hump top (instead of a moustache top). The one on the right is the NS Kim Thayil signature model that was spec'd to have a '70s style Guild headstock shape along with Rotomatic tuners.The shapes and tuners are different.
Yes!Is a moustache top the same as what they call an open book, like Gibson headstocks?
You are not wrong. The standard Newark Street headstock shape is based on the 50s Guild shape, but with a hump top instead of the moustache top.Am I wrong?
