markerdown Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 So whats the deal with this? Has anybody heard anything about any Epi production on these?? I want one but no way can I afford a gibby. An Epi version will do just fine for me! I think we got enough Slash Epi's produced, it's time for a new ACE!!!!

Blueman335 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They had an Ace signature model LP a few years ago, with 3 Dimarzios. How is this one different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVL Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 As a life long Kiss fan, and I mean the real Kiss, not the shell they are today, I would love to check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They had an Ace signature model LP a few years ago, with 3 Dimarzios. How is this one different? This one isn't so much a "signature" as a replica of the LP Custom Ace played at Budokan. It has normal (for the period) Les Paul Custom cosmetics without any of the customized Ace inlays, etc. The new one also has a real 3 piece solid maple cap (not veneered), a period correct 3 piece neck with a volute (though apparently no "pancake" body like the Gibson) and it has a real ebony board. It does have 3 DiMarzios, also, but middle and neck are PAF style, so they don't have the trademark DiMarzio pole pieces like the Super Distortion in the bridge.

RobinTheHood Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It says they're only making 1,000. That doesn't make much sense to me. Yeah, they should be producing 1977 guitars. That would be a little more consistent with how they have been doing these limited runs lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It says they're only making 1,000. That doesn't make much sense to me. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll make a 2nd run later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Don't worry, I'm sure they'll make a 2nd run later. +1 Hey Mike, good to see you back, your probably right there, that's what happened with the Bonamassa anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epi Rocks Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Your wish is granted! Here is the Epi Ace Frehley Budokan. Do want. http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/Features/2012/The-Ace-Frehley-Budokan-Les-Paul-Custom-Outfit.aspx Whoaa!!! Epiphone is getting really serious with their new stuff. The quality of their new builds is nothing short of excellent. Looks like I'm gonna have to do a lot of saving up if I wanna get my hands on their new gear. (Bonamassa, Budokan, Prophecy, lucille, Les Paul Tribute, Ultra, etc, etc...) Soooo many awsome new models and not enough cash for them all. Love that 'Ace' model, gotta get one. (I wonder if Epi will ever build an Angus signature, '67 SG with Maestro, batwing guard and a neck-joint like the original Gibby '67, Gibson 57 Classics...) I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

I want one of these as well, and not because of anything Kiss, or Ace related. Just looks like a good guitar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubyred Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Being a KISS fan since I was about 8 - I am seriously thinking about getting this - Seeing the live in Japan concert and Ace on TV here made me want to learn guitar - just so it could shoot fireworks and explode - awesome !! This song sums it up , fire breathing , Ace at his best - AWESOME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFZ86rMq6UI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epi Rocks Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Guitar Center also ship to Canada. I get my JB LTD from them. Brilliant!!! If you live in Canada. ( by the way, would love to visit there one day) But I live in "AUSTRALIA"!!! That's just unfair to everyone else who're outside the USA IMO. (Take note Gib/Epi) I feel descriminated against. :angry: Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan41 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 but they wont ship this limited edition in canada what ever is musicien friend or other usa music store they can ship in Canada is the restriction gibson did, because i didn't find any store across canada they can have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thomann.de ships to Canada http://www.thomann.de/intl/basket.html Never would have thought to check with them, and it looks like I can get a few things cheaper from them (shipped) than I can from the US... As well as a few things I didn't know existed. but they wont ship this limited edition in canada what ever is musicien friend or other usa music store they can ship in Canada is the restriction gibson did, because i didn't find any store across canada they can have it They are fairly new, so not everyone has them yet. I'm sure MF will be getting them, and they will ship one to Canada. Thomman, who Pete mentioned have them for 595.38, which translates into $774.29 CDN Shipped, compared to $799 without shipping from Zzounds...
