Product Description
Few artists have been consistently associated with one guitar as Ace Frehley has been with the Les Paul. He is known worldwide as one of the Les Paul guitars most recognizable players as well as one of rocks greatest icons. From the moment KISS arrived on the scene, Ace was brandishing a Les Paul and has developed a permanent association with this iconic guitar. By 1977, KISS had become a worldwide phenomenon. During their world tour that year, KISS sold out four nights at the Budokan Theater in Tokyo, Japan, breaking the record previously held by The Beatles since 1966. By this time, Ace was most often seen playing a cherry sunburst triple-pickup Les Paul Custom. Ace returned to Japan with his Budokan Les Paul the following year for the Alive II tour where KISS broke the record again with a sold out five night stand. Aces association with this Les Paul remains to this day.Gibson has recreated Aces favorite Les Paul, starting with period correct 4-piece hard Maple top which rests upon a mid-70s style sandwich body made from a middle and back section of solid mahogany joined by a thin maple veneer, with no chambering. The guitar is sprayed in a stunning Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish on the top, back, and even the back of the neck; capturing the exact look of Aces iconic instrument. Each guitar is aged to recreate every last detail of Aces original guitar as it looks today.The 3-piece Mahogany neck is carved to a thin, ultra-playable C-profile, and a volute at the zero fret. The neck is glued-in and hand set with a deep-set neck joint. The 24.75 scale length is also exact to the originals specifications. The bound Ebony fingerboard has 22 medium jumbo frets, a 14 radius and 1.68 bone-style nut. The Ace Frehley "Budokan" Les Paul features Mother-of-Pearl block inlays and the familiar Split Diamond on the headstock.Ace Frehley Budokan Les Paul Custom is outfitted with three DiMarzio pickups; a DiMarzio PAF style pickup in the neck and middle positions ...
