When the new catalog showed up, I informed the wife what our tax return was going for. She said OK, and thinks I should buy a couple ectras to build and sell on the bay. I love that woman.

it is possible to brush a high gloss, but the temperature will affect that as well

I am a Kiss Army Kaptan.

I'd love to trade......and the vox would be lovely. I need to get settled into a place first tho.

The pickup had a trap door in it. the door fell when the button was pushed (one of the unused pots) and lit the homemade smokebomb and lit up a halogen light. However, it still catches fire Perviously he just had it in the control cavity with the fuse hanging out. Watch early vids of "She". You can see him use a bic lighter. I think the Alive (Cobo Hall, 1975) has the shot I am thinking of. Cant find a shot now. The other pots were running a ribbon cable through the neck that lit the rockets. It is primarily his black 3 pickup 1960 custom he did that with. On the cover of Alive!it only had the pickup Larry Dimarzio made for him....what would become the Super Distortion.....

Article from Gibson

Excellent article

I'll do a full review on my KISS guitar.....and all its stages.

Looks like a Bastard V or a Beast that Paul Stanley molested.

$400 shipped US? I cant do trades. I need to get a new place to live.

Am I asking too much? Make an offer. In this thread even. I need it gone guys. Make me a fair offer, and it'll be a done deal.

It screamed Ace Frehley at me

Hell, I still use Kisakea's Flash program

And mahogany or even black limba is not much more expensive. I get limba for $8.50 a board foot.

These caught my eye, and I may try one to get more perspective:

It would be at tax time that I got them. So I'll let ya know then.

Gold finish has a Beautilul gold ,with no Checking or Greening

Yes, but wouldnt a real 57 have such things?

Plastic Parts are a little dicolored, Probably because this guitar was played or left in a room that had smokers in it...even the control Knobs turned color

Yes that would be normal for a vintage Les Paul. And the original case with no scratches? The PAF with no sticker? Well, it sound shady to me.

as long as you questions relate to swirling, go ahead and ask here.

Ok, so here's the thing. I need money. I havent played this one in like 2 years. In a hard rock band, the lipsticks werent the sound, and the 12 string was a tad wierd. I am selling it. I paid $600US for the guitar and $120US for the case in 1999. The whole thing goes for $550US plus shipping OBO. I gigged with it back in late 99 and it got one ding. Barely noticeable, and I took a pic of it.

I will include the case of course, 1 set of new strings of your choice brand for each neck, and a blue strap with lightning bolts if I can find the bastard. I will ship FedEx and would prefer North America only, but I will ship international. Yes, that means Canada is a go.

Please email me with all questions about this guitar. the frets have little wear, the necks are straight, and it weights about 12.5 lbs. I will also include all the original tags.

And bear in mind, alder sound great.

I see you like Icemen........I can totally see iceman influence.

Got a link for where to get such critters?

Yeah, but I'd need to strip the whole thing. I might do that later.

A block of wood as per the tut on the main site would be fine

So.....about the BBE.....thread. Also, I used to have one. I loved it until it was stolen/lost/I wasnt sober when it disappeared.

Run a search. Not to be cold or anything. These questions have been answered before. Also, check Wes's neck thru thread in the solid body tutorials. Good pics of the truss rod and carbon rod routes

Brian has them cheaper. Ebay is a good bet too
