Description
Crafted for the bold and the audacious, the Washburn PS2012 Starfire is a celebration of rock 'n' roll legacy and innovation. This electric guitar, a signature model of the legendary Paul Stanley from KISS, is engineered to deliver an unparalleled playing experience. Featuring a striking reverse body style, the PS2012 Starfire is not just about looks—it's about performance. A mahogany body with a raised center ensures resonance and sustain, while the set mahogany neck offers a comfortable grip for those high-octane solos.
The guitar's tone is driven by two Seymour-Duncan SM-3 mini humbuckers, offering a crisp yet powerful sound that cuts through any mix with ease. Its bound ebony fingerboard, adorned with custom pearl/abalone split block inlays, adds a touch of class and precision to your playing. With a 24.75" scale and 22 jumbo frets, this guitar is built for speed and agility. The Buzz Feiten tuning system enhances intonation, ensuring each note is pitch-perfect across the fretboard.
Aesthetically, the PS2012 Starfire is a work of art. A custom Paul Stanley tailpiece, a mirrored pickguard, and aged nickel hardware complete its vintage allure. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this guitar is a statement piece as much as it is a versatile instrument. Included with the guitar is a specially aged hard case and a Certificate of Authenticity, making it a collector's dream.
