1979 Arturo Valdez “Viking” – KISS Custom-Built Steampunk Rock Machine
From the hands of a Hollywood legend to the edge of rock and roll fantasy.
Crafted by Arturo Valdez, luthier to Gene Simmons and rumored to have built instruments for icons like Prince, this custom one-off “Viking” guitar is equal parts stage weapon and art piece. Drenched in heavy steampunk vibes and wrapped in the mystery of L.A.’s late-‘70s rock underworld, this guitar is not just gear — it’s a statement.
If you’re after rare KISS guitars, Hollywood-made customs, or a vintage oddity that could’ve come from Prince’s private vault, this is your moment. It even includes a built-in early wireless system — decades ahead of its time.
