Ibanez Paul Stanley PS40 Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
A slim profile maple neck, Infinity R humbuckers and distinctive KISS looks make the PS40 an affordable way to channel Paul Stanley's seminal style and tone.

With a bigger than life stage show and some great rock anthems, KISS clawed their way to the top of the charts during the 70's to become one of the biggest acts in the history of Rock n' Roll. In 1976, the band's frontman, Paul Stanley, was approached by Ibanez to collaborate on a signature guitar that would become the iconic instrument he would forever be associated with.

In 1977, when Paul and Ibanez sat down to create his signature guitar, it was to be a totally unique design, but while perusing through the Ibanez catalog, one guitar in particular caught the frontman's eye: The Artist 2663. Later to be known as the "Iceman", the Artist wasn't exactly a popular model at the time, but Stanley was intrigued by its asymmetrical shape and unusual body style and decided this would be the template for his signature instrument. Now, for the first time since 1996, Paul and Ibanez have reunited to introduce three exciting Paul Stanley signature models.

The PS40 features distinguishing characteristics, a high gloss black finish and chrome appointments.

The PS40 also features a resonant Poplar body, slim profile Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard for balanced tone. Electronics include a high output Infinity R Humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge position for a sound that will let you rock n' roll all night.

Now, once again, you can get a piece of the legend that is KISS, with an Ibanez Paul Stanley Signature model.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this guitar. Great playability, great tone. Feels great strapped on as well. If I didn't know this was a $300 guitar, I wouldn't think it was a $300 guitar!
