Epiphone has just announced a new Ace Frehley tribute model Les Paul. From the press announcement:
Epiphone is proud to announce our tribute to Ace Frehley, one of rock’s most influential guitarists, with the Epiphone Limited Edition Ace Frehley “Budokan” Les Paul Custom Outfit. As the lead guitarist for KISS (and the original designer of the famous KISS logo) Ace Frehley is renown around the world as one of the Les Paul guitar’s most exciting ambassadors as well as one of rock’s greatest showman. Ace single handedly inspired a generation of guitarists to pick up rock and roll’s most powerful axe. Now, Epiphone makes this iconic guitar available to players everywhere.
This looks like a pretty sweet piece of gear. The only thing missing is the fake drop-out smoking pickup. It will be limited to a run of 1000 and comes with a custom hard case, a certificate of authenticity, and a photo of the Space Ace himself. So if you have a few thousand dollars to spare, go get yours today.
