bigdog75043 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Found a lead on a music store in Maryland that had some NOS Ace Frehley guitars. After calling and talking to sales guy I found out they had one in Transblack which would look good next to my heritage cherry sunburst. After getting permission from the missus I put her on layaway and now, three months later she has come home to papa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big fan of the preacher, but I do have a cracked mirror! This pic was taken before the new baby arrived. I am trying to figure out how I am going to make room for all of them. Currently I have taken the V out of the lineup until I can figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Is that "cracked" one a Minarik? I've always liked the "Ace" LP ... it is looking GOOD in that trans-black! Congrats! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I have 2 Minariks, beautiful guitars. Amen! Amazing sound out of them too. Minarik really makes chambering count for more than just weight relief! Thanks for the info on the Silvertone, Bigdog. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob R Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Congrats on the new AFLP I love your collection, the Axe bass looks great! I've been wanting one of these for a while, but I think I'll end up with one of the new Punishers, just because I'll play it more. I'm also really liking the V with the mirror pick guard, Does that have a reversed headstock? I don't think I've seen one like that, very cool!

I don't play it though. It was cheap and sounds awful. Got it off bestbuy.com for $150. They don't carry it anymore but apparently they now carry the V in a rhinsetone top if you have $9500 lying around. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Beautiful guitar, it is... the force is with you". (Think YODA). I recently watched a few vids on HOW a dude did a Red and Black "TigerStripe" on an LP, from bare wood. Mind-blowing...

Sorry if this is of topic, but what are those figures in the corner next to the Mego Paul Stanley? I agree, $9500 is more than I would ever pay too. As to the figures in the corner that is the McFarlane Love Gun Box set. When set up it looks like the Love Gun album cover Here'a a few extra photos. Between the KISS room and my arcade and hockey memorabilia in the living room I have the coolest wife on the planet to let me keep all this stuff in the house and not the garage.

bigdog75043 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Chuck Levin's washington music center located in Wheaton Maryland. 301-946-8808, ask for Paul Schien. He sold me mine and knows inventory better than first sales guy I talked too. When I ordered I know they had one more in heritage cherry, but don't know if he had any more in black. If you want black and he is sold out I found this listing at musicgoround.com http://www.musicgoround.com/detail.aspx?id=1117413 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 .............I have the coolest wife on the planet to let me keep all this stuff in the house and not the garage. ........looks like you have to sleep alone, though. Seriously, that's a very nice Ace LP. Congrats! Now I think you need to add a black Ibanez Iceman to your collection. However, of Paul Stanley's guits over the years, I've always liked his leopard print BC Rich Eagle. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog75043 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thats the guest bedroom. But if I did have to sleep alone it would definitely beat the couch! I do plan on adding an iceman somewhere down line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 LOL How do you like their superstrat phase from mid-80s to early '90s? I used to drool over Bruce Kulick's Charvels on the Animalize concert vid. He and Paul had some very nice ESPs a little later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog75043 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 The strats didn't do much for me. I don't know why. This was another one I used to love, http://www.edroman.com/featured/images/Paul%20Stanley%20Gtr%2066.jpg I liked the finish on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob R Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I agree, $9500 is more than I would ever pay too. As to the figures in the corner that is the McFarlane Love Gun Box set. When set up it looks like the Love Gun album cover Thanks, I love seeing what others collect. I must have missed the Love Gun Box set I do have alot of the other McFarlane figures as well as the Art Asylum Destroyer figures, but nothing like your collection (you have a lot of great pieces there ) . Although I do have a huge Star Wars collection that takes up the extra room and a 10 X 20 storage unit. You definitely need a Iceman. I bought IC400 Iceman same year I bought my AFLP and later I customize it to look like a PS10 but I didn't pay a fortune for it It's close enough for me, now I just need a Punisher.
