2012 Gibson Ace Frehley Budokan Les Paul Custom

R.I.P. ACE!! Very clean all-original example showing just slight hints of being played - a few pick scratches and light dings. Top shows some light figure, as does the back of the neck. Fresh setup with top-wrapped 9-46 strings. This thing rips. Weighs 9.9 pounds and ships in OHSC, which is a bit scuffed up and has one broken latch.
