This 2012 Gibson Ace Frehley Signature Budokan Les Paul Custom in Heritage Cherry Sunburst pays direct tribute to the KISS guitarist’s most iconic stage instrument—the famed Budokan Les Paul that became inseparable from his ’70s arena-rock image. Built to capture the look and vibe of Ace’s original, it features the distinctive triple-humbucker layout and Custom appointments that fans associate with his smoking solos, dramatic stage presence, and the larger‑than‑life sound of KISS.
This example shows only light signs of use, presenting as a well-cared-for tribute rather than a heavily played workhorse. It plays and sounds great, delivering the punchy, singing sustain and authoritative rock voice that defined Ace Frehley’s legacy for generations of guitarists who grew up watching him under the arena lights. Comes with the OHSC.
