KISS' TOMMY THAYER: Signature 'Spaceman Les Paul' Guitar Now Available - Oct. 29, 2012
KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer's signature Spaceman Les Paul guitar by Epiphone is now available.

Says Thayer: "I'm psyched to be playing my new guitar onstage as we embark on the 2012 Kiss Kruise and South American stadium tour in the weeks ahead. My signature axe will soon be available in guitar shops everywhere. In the meantime, the first guitars off the line are ready for you through some very special offers on my new site, TommyThayerGuitar.com."

Tommy officially took over the coveted KISS lead guitar spot on February 28, 2003.

In his official debut concert, KISS joined forces with the 70-piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (all in KISS makeup) for a concert at the Telstra Dome in Melbourne, Australia.

"Monster", the 20th studio album from KISS, sold 56,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 3 on The Billboard 200 chart.

KISS' previous CD, "Sonic Boom", opened with 108,000 units back in October 2009 to enter the chart at No. 2. This marked the band's highest-charting LP ever.

This is just wrong. Ace has every right to collect royalties from his signature guitar and Gene and Co. horning in on the action leaves a sour taste.

....already do this back in 1997 with Ace's signature Gibson? At least Tommy Thayer's guitar doesn't cost $8000 like Ace's did when I saw it in shops. I can STILL smell the greed off that stinking pile of overpriced garbage.

Oh by the way, if you think Ace's was "better" because it was a bonafide Gibson, please go back to kindergarten and learn about the value of what goes into building a guitar all over again. Or you know, just get down on your knees and start unzipping Gibson's pants. Thanks!

Like his playing on Monster, wish he had been more original on Sonic Boom...nice looking guitar, but I could careless about "signature" guitars...does putting someone's name on it make the guitar sound better somehow?

maybe these bozo's should play their Revenge Album front to back on tour without the Make Up.

Revenge is a solid album. Tommy Thayer in spaceman make up is total Fraud.

I actually like Tommy Thayer and he is a success story that deserves his own guitar as much as anyone. But the "Spaceman" Les Paul? REALLY? If you buy one of these packages on his website it says you can have him sign it "anyway you want it". I wonder if he'll draw the Ace playing card and sign it "Tommy 'Fake Ace' Thayer" for me?

This has nothing to do with selling the make-up. Ace's endorsement deals are his own. I am pretty sure he was playing his own siganture series Gibson at least since Frehley's comet. He certainly has a different signature series guitar without the spaceman on the headstock as seen here:

http://www.acefrehleylespaul.com/

Again, Gene and Kiss are trying to sell you fake crap and not the real thing.

this guitar didnt read the features...

1. REAL Gibson 498 pickups...
2. Grover tuners

Most Epis do not come with these features. I understand that this is not a Gibson, but this is DEF an Epi on steroids...

This guitar will sound better than 95% of Epis made... hands down.

They are just trying to make a nice guitar that some kids can afford. There is nothing wrong with that...

Woah, that is pretty surprising that he would use the 'Spaceman' name.

I'm a KISS fanatic and a big supporter of Thayer and Singer. It really annoys that people have SUCH a problem with them. It's usually just some jerkoff who doesn't know shit and just overheard Zakk Wylder or Slash bitching about it. It's the same fucking complex that people have who say that every band's earliest shittiest rawest work is their favorite album.

When those guys left, KISS went unmasked for almost the entire 80's, and took a ten year break. Now that they're back with a new Spacman and Catman to preserve the classic look for the live shows, suddenly people have all these fucking KISS Ethics. Usually the people who can only name four or five of their hugest hits.
I've endlessly read and heard people say how they think KISS should just quit and go away. And fuck the tens of thousands of people who go to their shows and enjoy the motherfucker out of themselves.

and two new facepaints/characters would be gay. The Fox and The Ankh Warrior looked like complete shit.

If he sells 3 I'll be amazed. It'll take a brave man to ask for one of them at Guitar Centre, the shame. Thayer is certainly getting carried away with his job, it's frustrating that he prospers from stealing a legends identity and style. Nobody was interested in Tommy Thayer he was a nobody, sold nothing and went nowhere. What price selling your soul and your integrity Tommy. You must have no self respect, man up and be yourself because it isn't spaceman, never was. It's Space Ace, always has been, always will be.
