DESCRIPTION
Through her use of unusually low depth-of-field photography, Lisa Johnson makes the guitar exotic, sensuous, and evocative, transforming it from an instrument into an artwork; music/rock enthusiasts as well as photography fans will enjoy not only the content of Johnson's work, but also her photographic genius. Includes a foreword by Les Paul. This is the Deluxe edition, limited to 540 copies, includes luxurious collector's box housing padded-leather hardcover, 16-page zine, guitar pick with one of three holographic foil design, and exclusively designed, hand-rolled silk chiffon scarf.

1998 Gibson Les PauL siGnature Guitar
An artistic rendering of Space Ace—familiar to Kiss fans every-where—adorns this guitar’s headstock while its back plate sports Ace’s signature. On the front of the guitar, scars from a skull ring made for Ace by Frankie Gibson attest to years of use.
(PREVIOUS) Modified Gibson Les PauL - “LiGht Guitar”
I met Larry at Mandalay Bay’s backstage loading dock. Offering to help carry my gear, he guided me through an obstacle course of battered road cases as the crew readied for what, in a few short hours, would be an epic show—a triple-header, with Skid Row and Ted Nugent performing in support of Kiss. Larry had staked out a small room near the stage, to work on Ace’s guitars in relative peace, and it was here, in a craftsman’s makeshift lair, that he showed me three of Ace’s special axes and divulged their secrets.
Ace frequently plays this one-of-a-kind Les Paul when Kiss performs “New York Groove.” It was built by luthier/guitar tech extraordinaire Steve Carr (RIP June 2006).

“SOME TIME AGO, BO DIDDLEY GAVE ME THIS GUITAR AS A GIFT. IT WAS DURING THE RECENT ZZ TOP RECORDINGS, WHEN THE ENGINEERING CREW AND I SNEAKED INTO THE GUITAR VAULT, SEARCHING FOR THAT CERTAIN-SOMETHING GUITAR, AND THERE IT WAS. WE DIDN’T RISK SUBJECTING SUCH A RARE INSTRUMENT TO THE RIGORS OF THE ROAD, SO THIS NEW, REPRODUCTION MODEL WAS CREATED WITH SOME BFG MOJO THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE. IT’S NOW THE MAIN STAGE GUITAR WITH A GROOVE.”
