1997 Gibson USA/Ace Frehley Les Paul 1997 Heritage Cherry Sunburst is now in stock!
This is the signature model of Ace Frehley, a guitarist who is known as an original member of the world popular band "KISS" and still very popular even after he left the band!
Based on his favorite 3-pickup Les Paul Custom, this model features AA grade figured maple top, mahogany back and neck, and ebony fingerboard. The neck grip is thin and easy to grip.
The head is printed with an illustration of the face of an ace, and the truss rod cover is printed with an ace of hearts playing cards.
The fingerboard inlay is decorated with a thunderbolt inlay, and the 12th fret has an inlay in the shape of his signature.
Three original DiMarzio pickups are installed.
There are some signs of re-soldering, but the pots and other parts appear to be original.
The double-white DiMarzio pickups are equipped with a high-power, high-drumming sound.
It is a perfect match for hard rock and heavy metal music like Ace plays.
The top of the instrument has some paint peeling off. There are many paint cracks, scratches, and dents on other parts.
The guitar comes with the original hard case, picks, and strings that were probably included at the time of purchase. (The original manufacturer's warranty card is missing.)
Also included are pegs and strap pins that we believe were once replaced and installed.
The look and feel of the instrument has changed over the years, and it now has a more dignified appearance.
This is a valuable model that we recommend to collectors as well as fans!
This is one of the few models that can be found on the market, so please take advantage of this opportunity to purchase one!
