New Tommy Thayer?!?!?!?!?

[Butch23]

Okay, I am not going to debate playing merits, but Tommy does have some cool guitars. Evidently, there is another one in the pipeline...

Les Paul? Sparkle explorer?

per Tommy Thayer's twitter account... @tommy_thayer

Here's Didi Egger from Austria & his @Epiphone White Lightning LP on @TheKISSKruise VI. Stay tuned for new TT signature guitar in 2017.

Any intel?

Cheers,
Butch

 

[LSAR]

Meh.

When I saw KISS in 2009 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly, Tommy played a silver sparkle explorer for the last few songs. It was a cool looking guitar. Maybe that's what is coming?

 

[Butch23]

Exactly why I mentioned it... I also saw that show.

Cheers,
Butch

Wow! I was just sitting here thinking... "You know what we need?!? Another TT model!" 🙄

You'd think that as long as they have him running around calling himself the Spaceman, he ought to play a fake Gibson, or Chibsun...

Yes, believe it or not, I am a KISS fan.

 

[B5Erik]

Well, the White Lightning is one really cool guitar, and the first TT model was pretty cool, so I'm sure the next one will be worth buying as well.

I just wonder if it will actually be a Les Paul or an Explorer this time. He's played a silver sparkle Explorer fairly extensively over the last few years.

It's an Epiphone Les Paul standard - let's all try to contain our excitement.

It's in the Epiphone Les Paul forum, and who are you again?

Ahhhh, no0bs. wut-ya-gunna-do?

 

[Gloveberg]

Maybe he can find a very popular existing model, make an exact copy of it and try to pass it off as his own creation. I mean, who would think he'd do something like that?

Are you referring to the three pickup cherry burst Customs from the last KISS cruise?

 

[irocdave12]

Who?

 

[Parasite68]

Please tell me that's a joke and he didn't play one? If that's the case, the model should be named Scabokan!💩

Probably the same two shmucks that have been passing him off as Ace since 2002!

In Tommy's defense, if someone is dumb enough to write him a check to do this, he's smart enough to cash it!

Parasite68, Seriously, I'm not joking.

Tommy played those cherry sunburst customs because it fit the theme of the show - the whole Creatures of the Night thing. Ace used that type of guitar for the I Love It Loud video, and since they were using the Tank stage and the Creatures outfits it made sense to use the same guitars (Paul got some new BC Rich guitars made just like the ones he used in the early/mid 80's).

That is 100% correct.

When I brought up the guitar, I neglected to mention the why's, just the what's. And for the why's, it was the perfect thing to do since the band was revisiting that certain era.

And I'd love to see BC Rich put out an Eagle...........
