[@erictoniaschwab1009]

I love Ace Frehley. But I say without hesitation that Tommy is such a great guitarist and is a great fit with Kiss.

[@CrenshawMoreno]

Humble guy. Really cool!

[@michaelantoniotti2738]

Tommy has done an outstanding job for the guys and brings his own swagger that fits and keeps them young. Great job, T!!

[@robertcouch9021]

People can talk shit about Tommy being a Fake Ace all they want but you can not deny the fact that Tommy can play kickass

[@natecannon6746]

They say fake Ace but hes not even trying to be Ace

[@julianmay5653]

Tommy Thayer. Half Pete Thorn, half Joe Perry. Badass Guitar, live the Headstock

[@daw162]

Better than ace, but like 1/10th pete thorn and 1/3rd joe perry.

[@stanislavmigra]

hahaha, Half Pet Thorn, half Joe Perry ... that fits perfectly

[@budgetguitaristcom]

Tommy says, in this video, that he has played some of the Epiphone Les Pauls on stage - I take him at his word, and I think this is a great, fantastic thing. The biggest difference between a Gibson Les Paul and an Epi with good pickups is how the guitar feels and plays - in terms of sound, I doubt anyone in the audience could tell the difference. Props for playing an Epi on stage once in a while!

[@globalmind43]

Oh yes and I believe everything that Gene and Paul say as well !

[@sal9014]

budgetguitarist.com he used to play a lot of Gibsons but switched entirely to epiphone! His sig models are great! I have the white lightning explorer and you can play anything on it it’s very versatile and smooth to play

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

budgetguitarist.com Agreed. In 2019 we live in such a fertile time for guitars. You don’t have to pay a ton of money for a good guitar anymore if you don’t want to. I currently play a Les Paul style guitar that cost $250 and it plays great and stays in tune and sounds like a Les Paul should.

New headstock looks sweeeeeeeeeet ♥ thank you Epiphone!

[@raulmartinez3484]

Such a stunning looking guitar.

[@pvdguitars2951]

Only the best for Tommy. Such a sweet humble man. He’s is out there with the greatest. One of the most beautiful well designed Les Pauls around. Great job!

[@thebloodychord]

Both his white and this guitar look badass!

[@psutter5]

AWESOME! Will be getting one! I own high end Gibsons and Fenders. EPIPHONE is a top notch guitar. Quality is there! ABSOLUTELY best bang for the buck!!! Proud to grab one and play. The Tommy Thayer signatures, all of them are great!

[@stax56]

I'm diggin this paint job! This is my new favorite epiphone!

[@treyboldon1999]

Awesome coolest Epiphone Les Paul guitar ever

[@bobbyfields7359]

Great looking Guitar! I’d love to see him expand the colors to include gold and red as well! Tommy Thayer class act! I hope he does more music after KISS!

[@Hoagiemon]

Just bought a Plus Pro Standard and love it. Wish Epiphone had been making guitars like these back when I started playing. I’d have a dozen by now.

[@charlesb7831]

I'd love to get this bad boy, I still have my Zakk Wylde Epiphone since 2004 , nothing more reliable and great to play! Fantastic paint job on this guitar!

[@mhungturnoff97]

Beautiful black colour. Love epiphone🙂

[@schlagdog]

That’s pretty awesome looking.

[@scottreynolds6317]

Beautiful guitar!!!!

[@alabamahebrew]

I have his first one, the Silver sparkle Spaceman and I live it. The silver one actually uses all Gibson electronics and 498 pickups and it blows the doors off of most of my other Les Paul's. If you look for a silver on on Reverb you will notice they are selling for more than the original asking price!! I like his white lightning line as well, but I wish they would have used Gibson pickups!! I'm not so sure about this blue one though, it's a pretty color but by having everything blue I think it's a bit too much, but it sure is pretty! Lol I have never seen Tommy using an Epiphone on stage, maybe he did for some photo ops but everytime I see him in photos or videos he is using a Gibson. I like Epiphone guitars and don't usually hesitate to buy one, I might just have to add this one to my collection as well lol.

[@thespaceace5637]

Usually the only times he plays the Epiphones are when a fan buys one of his guitar/meet & greet packages. If you buy the package, he'll sign the guitar however you like during the meet and greet, and then he'll play the actual guitar you'll receive during the show. But yeah, besides that he has a whole fleet of custom Gibsons.

[@MichaelVician]

Beautiful!

[@mattmanley7118]

Thing looks pretty awesome Epiphone is simply destroying Gibson even with the recent changes I don't hear as many people talking about Gibson as I do Epiphone. People are saying here in the comments that this one has the new headstock is the new headstock on all new Epiphone models yet or just this one? I have been waiting to get a 335 epiphone but I wanted to wait until they rolled out open book headstock. I've seen no announcements about the headstock launching so I'm wondering where it is

[@jamesmoore4320]

this looks awesome!

[@maxhoover8569]

I read that there is an actual maple cap on this model. It's not supposed to be as thick as Gibson's but still a real top.

[@OfficialEpiphone]

It does have a maple cap and it is the same thickness as Gibson's.

[@jerryfraker377]

Super cool GUITAR! Epiphone is really making some very nice instruments these days. Tommy is a class act and great guitar player also! That montrose was super cool.

[@OfficialEpiphone]

Thank you Jerry!

[@jreagle58]

Not into blue guitars, but man, if you are this is the one! That's hot!

[@brunogarcia6506]

Awesome! Now do an SG Junior single P90 in that finish! 😊

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Where can I buy one? Really cool!! 🤟👍

[@NDWoj]

Well, got me sold rocking to Montrose "Space Station #5"....nice job Tommy!

[@jacobcoughlin24]

That’s a nice guitar

[@pacoloco4030]

When i was a teenager, we met Tommy outside Madison Square Garden when Black n Blue opened for Kiss back in 85. First time i ever had a beer!! I'll be honest, we liked his band but Tommy is, and always has been Fuckin Ugly!! We used to call him "FART FACE"!!!!!!!!! To the REAL haters though, he's just doing his job. A job that if he had turned down, would of just gone to someone else. Why not get paid that kiss money! Ace will ALWAYS be NO.1 for me & countless others, but, Fart Face does a good job.

[@shannonvaughan5210]

Fantastic!

[@john564holloway]

Sweeeeeet of an axe!

[@216trixie]

Nice!

[@yourdrummer2034]

[@TheDeskChicken]

Bought one of these from Tommy on the Kiss Kruise. The finish is incredible and it sounds/plays amazing. However I can't play it because it is signed and to be mounted on the wall so time to buy another.....

[@carloszamora9551]

This guy its a badass guitarist. I love kiss🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@puertecitos6888]

lol, no he aint

[@bfluker85]

Never really been able to stomach 95% of the Kiss catalog, but this is a damn fine looking guitar.

[@patrickromero5365]

Thanks for the video I love these new Epiphone guitars that they are coming out with now they Rock mine has Billy Gibbons custom shop pickups on it and I put a 50s wiring harness and tone pros and locking be tuners you should hear this guitar now I plays just as good as any Gibson out there it is my number one guitar now Epiphone guitars Rock.

[@collie1]

Waiting for the explorer version now

[@mijaatin]

Cool! Does it come with strap and case like previous Thayer model?

[@sbeqstion]

Yes

[@shaygeraghty]

Yeah its the same strap and it has an electric blue hard case

[@chezmorello9057]

I love Epi's they're great guitars, had a Epi '69' V in cherry red which was the love of my life but some bastard stole it, what I wouldn't give to have it back. Not a big fan of the Les Paul shape but gotta say this blue one sure looks the part...

[@Lalairu]

Sparkly. I love it

[@lynchmob1968]

Black and blue guitarist. Underrated band✊🏻

[@alexkelly8131]

gotta get this axe its sooo pretty

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

that looks awesome! I'd most likely not be able to pull it off...but damn does it look good

[@alabamahebrew]

No doing pulls off's on this is just like any other guitar, same method absolutely no difference. Lol.. I know what you mean, I was just messing with ya about the pull offs. I guess I am like you, these flashy guitars just really aren't my bag, but ya know what? Maybe we need to change that up a bit ehh? I have Tommy's Silver Spaceman but the sides and back and neck are black only the front is silver. I think them making it all sparkle blue is a bit gawdy.

[@PulverizerA]

How much do you suppose Gene and Paul make off each guitar for licensing the Space Ace decal on the back of the headstock? Nobody can copy Ace quite like this guy...

[@thespaceace5637]

Ace has said that he didn't sell his makeup to Gene and Paul but he licenses it to them, so they're actually paying Ace to use his makeup. So they probably don't make as much off of it as you'd think.

[@natecannon6746]

Not copying Ace.

[@W4RD1N8ER]

Is this going to be available at Long N Mcquade stores? Because I will buy that right now!

[@OfficialEpiphone]

It should be.

[@marmadukewinterbotham2599]

Nice, but I'm not sure about those knobs.

[@marceltuchek8615]

That's what I thought, too. May replace them with those transparent modern Gibson knobs.

[@maxwellwinter2114]

Marmaduke Winterbotham probably blends better in person I imagine, otherwise some chrome knobs or white knobs would be cool

[@leonelbarragan602]

Tommy, how come you don't play your own, beautiful Epiphone Signature Guitars in concert (Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NYC Aug. 2019 and elsewhere including the infamous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade)? Instead, you played Gibson Custom Shop Les Pauls and a single pickup Gibson Explorer, which you used during your extended solo and pyrotechnics show. I own the White Lighting Explorer and it's a very nice guitar! That is bad business for Epiphone if you don't play your signature guitars that they put so much effort to create and market. I wish I could upload pictures I took of you to support my point.

[@davidlrogers]

he does; a simple google search proves it. doesn't really mean much that he didn't happen to play them on the days you saw him - he does play quite a few different guitar models.

[@leonelbarragan602]

Does he really play an Epiphone on stage with KISS ?

[@OfficialEpiphone]

Yes. He plays all of his signature model Epiphone and Gibson models.There are plenty of videos with him doing so.

[@TomTobin67]

Its a beautiful guitar but I emailed Epi back in the days of when they offered the silver Thayer LP to see if they had any left handed models. They said no and won't be making any. I would have just bought it outright if they did make them LH. Nice way to drop the ball,Epiphone. Not good.

[@Juanter]

This is a really specific custom model, it doesn't make sense that they would offer it left handed since probably out of 20 they would sell 2, I doubt they will sell many right handed ones since this a very specific guitar that you just don't go to the store and pickup unless you are into dussenberg or something like that lol

How does the guy cosplaying as Ace Frehley have several Epiphone signatures while Ace has none currently? I'm pretty sure Epiphone would sell more Ace guitars than Tommy Thayer guitars.

Don Karnage Ace has signatures with the big boy company, Gibson. Not sure Tommy is worthy enough

[@davidbrown2945]

Ace currently has several signature bottles of liquor out!!

[@natecannon6746]

Maybe because Tommy is actually good at what he does? And he doesnt cosplay as Ace. Hes nothing like Ace nor does he try to be.
