Epiphone presents the Ltd. Ed. Tommy Thayer "White Lightning" Signature Les Paul Outfit, Epiphone's second Les Paul collaboration with one of the most exciting guitarists on the planet, Tommy "Spaceman" Thayer of KISS.

In 2014, Epiphone's Tommy Thayer Ltd. Ed. "Spaceman" Les Paul Standard Outfit was an instant success. Now Tommy is back with another one-of-a-kind Les Paul design, the Ltd. Ed. Tommy Thayer "White Lightning" Signature Les Paul Standard Outfit featuring a beautiful custom finish and Seymour Duncan JB Humbuckers especially chosen by Tommy himself along with a custom hard case.

The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Tommy Thayer "White Lightning" Signature Les Paul Standard Outfit features a solid Mahogany body and a plain Maple Veneer Top finished in beautiful Metallic White with a chrome colored pickguard, all chosen by Tommy. The body also has 7-ply (pure white and black) binding on the top and single-ply pure white binding on the fingerboard.

Tommy's new Les Paul has a Mahogany body that delivers the classic tone and sustain that all true Les Pauls are known for. The 1960s SlimTaper "D" profile Mahogany neck has a deep-set, glued-in neck joint, a 24.75" scale length, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a 1.68" nut. The headstock has "Tommy Thayer" engraved on a chrome/metal truss rod cover.

Like all Epiphone Les Paul Standards, the Ltd. Ed. Tommy Thayer "White Lightning" Signature Les Paul features a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut (in matching white!) for read more more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets. The Indian Laurel
fingerboard has a 12" radius and pearloid trapezoid inlays. And the hand-set neck delivers outstanding string-to-body resonance while the medium-jumbo frets add to the smooth and sustained tone.

This is one awesome piece of work - first of all, it is stunning just to look at! The Blue metal flake mixed with the white color is superb. Plug this baby in and she blows you away! The pickups at all positions are "noise free" and the Seymour Duncan pickups add the right amount of punch!!! The guitar was perfect right out of the box, no need for setup. The overall quality & workmanship on the guitar is excellent (which I was not expecting from a "Chinese" guitar) Kudos to Epiphone for overseeing a fine instrument. The White case adds a special touch to the package as well as all the little "trinkets" it comes with. The only drawback on this guitar is I found it to be a bit heavy and the price a little "steep" for a Chinese guitar but I still think it was worth it but would like to see Epiphone return jobs back to our own soil here in the USA. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to Rock!
