I would have rather seen Tommy (or Eric for that matter) to come up with their own characters but it is what it is. Tommy has always been around Kiss mainly because Gene basically gave Black N Blue their start, and eventually became a Kiss road manager and guitar tech for Ace. He (Tommy) was an obvious choice for the band. I think he emulates Aces playing to a T and I would rather have Tommy play Aces riffs than some other guy who doesnt have the kind of long term relationship with the band. Did you hear Tommy doing New York Groove??? pretty impressive...now again, I was totally against the notion of someone filling in as Ace, but it is what it is, and TT is pretty darn good at what he does, like him or not.

Tommy thayer : "hey guys lets dress up like ace again today "
Tenecious : oh yes, can you get me another plate of pasta tommy. slurp suck slurp"
Tommy Thayer: oh yes do you want a autographed gibson silver guitar
Tenecious: "WOULD I, Slurp Suck Slup Slurp"

Ace Frehley: "bunch of bitches"

Gene and Paul: "Go out and buy are latest kiss bibi's and potatoe heads, its great we listen to the fans. Everyone wants Hello kitty and kiss plushies."

Swishersweets: "still a bunch of posers, gimme my ace frehley guitar"
Swisher sweets rocked all night long to shockme, while u listened to when lightning failed.

lol :P

Sorry guys been playing the guitar. Will get some pics tomorrow. I can't believe how different the dimarzzio pickups sound. I am going to keep the tuners, but I don't think anyone would like them. The slop is pretty bad. I am going to buy the 18-1 locking. I like Grover's a lot.

Now to Tommy. I also think he is really good. Very tight player. The rock the nation DVD is my favorite kiss DVD. I love all the songs and tommy is awesome. He was very good on sonic boom as well. I like Bruce as well. I think Revenge is the best from that line up. Vinnie also was good. Each of them brings something different. Ace has the most style and will always be my fav.

Honestly? WTF dude?

jordans0nly · 05-14-2012, 10:16 AM

Can't wait for you guys to get these guitars. Guess I'm living through all of you, lol. I like Tommy for what his purpose is. But honestly, Bruce was/is just a different animal to me, not saying better, but a different style for sure. Non-makeup era, best albums had to be Revenge and Carnival of Souls. Seriously two, very underrated albums.

Keep your head up guys, I'm sure it'll be worth it. I'm waiting on my Edwards E-JR-85LT at the moment from EU, can't wait on this P90 DC LP bit of goodness.

Tenacious T · 05-14-2012, 10:45 AM

I've had this guitar on pre-order since 2/1/12....I'm begining to lose faith in delivery

Hack · 05-14-2012, 11:07 AM

My original order date was 01/30/2012, but since that one got cancelled, my next order date is now 04/16/2012. *But with a promise that I will be the first order shipped out.

I have pretty much given up hope. I do not expect to get this guitar. It will be a total shock if I do.

Totally understand...& I'll be there with you, being shocked if I get one as well.

Let's see some pics of the USAs while we're still waiting for the epis

Tenacious T · 05-14-2012, 11:29 AM

If for some reason I don't get the Epiphone model, I'm just gonna break the bank...pick up the USA Gibson Ace Model & a Thayer silver sparkle.

It's only money right?

indeedido · 05-14-2012, 03:40 PM

Not to derail, it's all in good fun, but this is my all time favorite pic of Tommy Thayer. WTF?!

Right on T. Money is there to be spent. And the guitar, we can take to our grave.

Tenacious T · 05-14-2012, 06:02 PM

I WANT THIS!!! Unfortunately I live in New York. Anyway, I'm new here and thought I would post the story of my quest for a Budokan. Like some others here, I preordered from Musician's Friend. The day that I got the message to call them to renew my backorder, I called them right away and renewed. Then, I got a cancellation notice a week or two later, so I called them back and they said they had no record of me calling. So, they put me back on the list, but instead of my preorder being dated in January, it's not dated as of April. So, between that preorder, and ones at American Musical and Sam Ash, I'm hoping I get one!

Damn, thats my story. The bad part is, you cant talk to anyone that will fix this. All calls go to a call center that is made up of a bunch of college kids that cant do a damn thing.

...anyway, welcome! I hope you can share your NGD with us soon!

Thanks...

No kidding...to make it worse, the guy that re-placed my order for me entered the wrong billing address and shipping address!!! I'm afraid to call back because they may screw things up even more!

Hack · 05-16-2012, 09:37 AM

I tried everything to get past the call center and contact Corp HQ and got nowhere fast. The only hope I have is someone contacted me after seeing some posts on another site of me telling my woes. He claims he works for MF and is supposed to be taking care of my issue. Only time will tell if he is legit.

Tenacious T · 05-16-2012, 09:38 AM

I've be calling Musicians Friend about once a week to re-set my order. Hopefully, they get it done correctly during a 30 day cycle.

So far, so good....still waiting patiently.

Hack · 05-16-2012, 09:46 AM

Tenacious T · 05-16-2012, 09:47 AM

Just called and re-set....again.

Now expecting them on 7/10...at the customers door by 7/17/12.

You ever see that commercial with the guy that works in the office, and all of his co-workers are monkeys?.....yeah, that's what they have going on over at ole' Musicians Friend
