| Fair condition, 5,5/10, very worn finish and has a |
| repaired headstock break, has been professionally |
| and invisibly refretted for optimal playing back |
| in 2016 by luthier Robert Wahlander but there are |
| some traces after an earlier refret with wear in |
| the fingerboard, replaced electronics with modern |
| CTS-pots and new knobs, now for the good stuff: |
| ATTENTION ALL KISS FANS! Here is a unique and |
| super vibey Les Paul that is a kind of modified |
| replica (to be clear, this is a real Gibson built |
| in Kalamazoo, MI) of the 1974 LPC that was Ace s |
| main guitar for 17 months (November 1976 to April |
| 1978) and then on and off until his departure from |
| KISS in 1982, (read more here: |
| http://www.acefrehleylespaul.com/AceFrehleys1974LesPaulCustom.html), |
| the guitar has been owned by a Canadian good |
| friend of Ace s who plays in a Kiss cover band |
| called Rock And Roll Over in Toronto, he had Ace |
| sign this in person and then turned this into a |
| smoker (work done by Jeff Donahoe in Virginia |
| Beach, USA) including modifications to make room |
| for a smoke bomb (does not work at the moment but |
| can probably be fixed by a future owner) and a |
| standard G4 base halogen bulb (lights up nicely!) |
| in the neck pickup cavity (a dummy pickup is |
| installed, no rout), lots of paperwork included |
| with a signed document (possibly a Xerox copy, |
| hard to tell) from Ace as the center piece, also |
| lots of manuals about the smoke bomb and lots of |
| extra Surefire Igniters to set off the bomb, an |
| envelope from Garrett Park Guitars with 2pc Smoke |
| Cartridges (one 45s and one 90s white from |
| www.theatrefx.com), the bomb/light is set off by a |
| 4-position rotary switch and is each run by a 9V |
| battery (2 batteries in total)-same serial number |
| range as the original Budokan (600000-range) which |
| has been dated to 1974 (currently owned by Matt |
| Swanson)-routed for a 3rd pickup-installed smoke |
| bomb and light in neck cavity under a dummy pickup |
| cover-DiMarzio Super Distortion in bridge |
| position-nickel plated Grover tuners with pearloid |
| banjo buttons-original hardcase with KISS-logo |
| sprayed on and a KISS-decal with a barcode 002018 |
