November 14, 2007

KISS' official web site, KissOnline.com, has been updated with photos from the launch of the much-anticipated Paul Stanley Electric Guitar and accessories, held on November 3 at the Zellers and Home Outfitters store in Georgetown, Ontario. Canada-based KISS tribute band FRIED ALIVE appeared at the store to greet fans who came out for the promotion.

The store's stock of Paul guitars reportedly sold out before the band arrived for the promotion.

Paul Stanley is a legendary American hard rock guitarist and vocalist for the classic rock band KISS. Paul's persona in KISS is "The Starchild" and this persona is carried through in the design of the products.

Limited to only 5,000 pieces worldwide, this electric guitar is designed and hand-signed by Paul Stanley of KISS. The guitar package is sure to become a highly sought after collectors item and comes with a certificate of authenticity, Paul Stanley guitar strap, three Paul Stanley guitar picks, and a Paul Stanley collector's poster. The package retails for $299.99 and is expected to increase exponentially in value.

"To offer such a piece at this price is absolutely unprecedented," said Matt Golden, product manager for Erikson Consumer. "You typically see similar collector's items retailing for thousands, not hundreds of dollars. "Based on the demand, buzz on the streets, and feedback from anxious clients, we and HBC expect a very fast sell-out to very happy fans."

The guitar is a solid hardwood body design featuring nickel silver frets, an adjustable truss rod, four-bolt detachable neck, three-position selector switch, volume and tone knobs, individual adjustable bridge system, humbucker pickups and diecast tuners.
Accessories in the series include Paul Stanley Distortion Pedal, Paul Stanley Guitar Picks, Paul Stanley Pick Folio, and Paul Stanley Black Guitar Strings.

The Paul Stanley Distortion Pedal can be used with any electric or bass guitar connected to an amp. Features include a contour control with "MAX" setting for heavy distortion tones, heavy cast metal construction, and it works with either a 9V battery or A/C adapter (sold separately). It retails for $74.99.

The Paul Stanley Guitar Picks are available in 12 different full-color designs. One package includes 12 medium gauge picks and will retail for $9.99. They can be stored in the Paul Stanley Pick Folio, $29.99, which holds 144 guitar picks — 6 double-sided sheets, each holds 12 picks per side — and zips closed to keep your collection safe.

Paul Stanley Black Guitar Strings are black coated light gauge strings made of Class 1 nickel. The package includes 009 .0115 .016 .024 .032 and .042 sizes and a spare high E-string included. The string package retails for $14.99.
