For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 2015 Gibson Ace Frehley Aged.
In 2015 Gibson Custom Shop made an homage to iconic Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley. They produced as True Historic models which encompassed a number of features that were exactly as these guitars were made in 1959.
The guitar is in mint condition. It looks unplayed except for all the factory aging of course. This is a rare AGED Unsigned model. All the great 2015 True Historic specs. The guitar comes with the original brown Lifton-style case, COA, with paperwork.
We were particularly impressed by the choice mahogany as well as the stunning and accurate maple top.
Series Number: AF 150 150/300 made
Case: Original brown Lifton reissue Hard Shell Case
Condition: Near Mint to Excellent (very very light player wear)
