During his tenure with Soundgarden, Kim Thayil's heavy, thunderous riffing exemplified what would eventually become known as the "Seattle Sound." The Guild Polara Kim Thayil Signature is a high-octane grunge machine, able to tackle sludgy power chords and scorching leads with equal aplomb. This solidbody electric guitar's slightly offset mahogany body strikes an imposing profile, which is matched sonically by its Guild HB-1 humbucking pickups. Its Vintage Soft "U"-shaped neck offers extreme comfort, whether you're engaging in erratic riffage or unleashing pent-up pentatonics; its 22-fret, 12.5-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard facilitates the entire gamut of fleet-fingered fretboard workouts. The Kim Thayil Signature's Tune-o-matic bridge and Guild compensated stopbar tailpiece were tailor-made for palm muting, and its 18:1-ratio tuners ensure that your tuning remains rock solid in every musical situation. The Guild Polara Kim Thayil Signature boasts a King Animal truss rod cover and a Badmotorfinger back plate with a gold print signature.

Based on a classic 1970s Guild solidbody

Kim Thayil has wielded a Guild S-100 Polara throughout the majority of his career, and the Polara Kim Thayil Signature puts his unique spin on this '70s-era classic. This Polara is built around a solid mahogany body with a sleek offset design. Guitarists find that the Kim Thayil Signature's mahogany Vintage Soft "U" neck profile provides a slightly chunky yet eminently comfortable grip that brings to mind the Guilds of yesteryear. Lastly, it's topped with a rosewood fingerboard with a slick-playing 12.5-inch radius for maximum playing comfort.

Versatile humbucking pickups

The Guild Polara Kim Thayil Signature is primed for ultramega tone thanks to its Guild HB-1 humbucking pickups. When you plug this solidbody electric guitar into your favorite amplifier, you'll be rewarded with a wide range of classic tones. In the '70s, as music was evolving into harder and heavier sounds, Guild released these higher-output pickups to ensure players could get the most out of their axes. HB-1 humbuckers are quite capable of everything from articulate cleans to down-tuned riffing. To top it off, the Polara Kim Thayil Signature includes a phase switch, unlocking a myriad of otherworldly sonic textures.

Teeming with custom appointments

This Guild is loaded with elegant appointments from head to toe. Handsome ivory binding wraps around its fingerboard, giving the Polara Kim Thayil Signature a decidedly upscale edge. Its fingerboard is studded with beautiful pearloid block inlays, and its headstock is adorned with a pearloid Guild logo. Finally, the Kim Thayil Signature includes a custom King Animal truss rod cover and a Badmotorfinger back plate with a gold print signature. One thing's for sure: you'll never be outshined with the Polara Kim Thayil Signature in your hands.

Influencers writing books...
Format: Paperback
First off, if you really want to read a great book on plasma and consciousness, read Robert Temple - A New Science of Heaven. Everything is in there. Extremely well written and easy to follow. Less than half the price too for an actual book. If you then go with that understanding into the peruvian jungle you'll be fine. Now, this one here is a different matter altogether: Format 650+ pages(!) of poorly formatted and poorly written text. The book is physically humongous too! Why? Constant text breaks and list type snippets make it hardly readable. This whole package could have been packed into half the amount of book. More is not better in this instance. Flow and framing is bad and superficial. It feels and reads like she is just listing things like in a high school essay rather than actually exploring the topic. Reminds me of internet bros that create these lists of stuff and think by just collecting and listing things, meaning and relevance emerges automatically. It doesn't. A good book knows flow and framing and takes the reader by the hand- not just stating or claiming things without proper context, real proof and relatability. Relevance Why is she in a position to talk about plasma and consciousness? She had a difficult life and then meditated twice(!) and all of a sudden she is an expert on plasma consciousness? No framing in any of the chapters. Just blank statements and made up words that she trademarked. Not only one but at least three! How does she know these things? No personal examples or believable context. She basically says "here x-person said this - now I say that" Why? no one knows. Where is the proof and experience in what she says? It's just loosely collected snippets of words and sentences that lack context and relevance. Example: The Kordilevksy clouds are located at the lagrange L4 and L5 points. No explanation what that really is. I'm sure most readers are not familiar with lagrange points. Or, anyone know what Tubulin Dimers are? What Dipoles are? "The sun maintains structural and rhythmic coherence via electromagnetic resonance" Really? How? why? Ah yes ,that explains and equates naturally with "when thoughts and emotions align, you enter a flow state" sure. ok. if you say so. Tons of examples like this. Finally, apart form generic templates, simple "pay attention to this type exercises" and archetypal concepts and pretty meaningless 3d,4d 5d nomenclature, it completely lacks a "how to". How can one become a plasma being? Like, actually in real life? How does a life look like that is lived as a fully conscious and aware plasma consciousness? I guess I need to go onto her website and buy some of these trademarked programs. Mabye, there is a reason why sages over the millennia have dedicated entire lifetimes to fashioning themselves and learning about themselves and their plasma beingness? If this was instagram easy through 2 meditations I'd like to know THAT secret. The sages of old have gone through long and arduous journeys to completely transform themselves and their bodies with years of yoga, qigong and psychedelics aka alchemy into said plasma beings. Some very few and far between just struck by cosmic plasma consciousness without really doing much. However, I don't find the evidence for either process having taken place with the author. Conclusion Overall, this book is a pretend in my opinion. She hides behind empty words that create the appearance of knowingness without being accurate, in-depth and in-detail, based on her own actual experiences with the matter. Fast social media marketing with typically inflated prices for low quality content, because "they are worth it".
