"My August KISS Guitar of the Month is a smokin’ hot ‘56 Gibson Les Paul Custom! Used on COS, performed live for a KISS Nashville NAMM show in 1994, and photographed for a SIT String Ad when the guitar had creme pickups. Love the tone and vintage vibe of this Mahogany beast. #kisstory #kissguitar #gibsonlespaulcustom #vintageguitarmagazine #vintagegibson #lespaulcustom #blackbeauty #guitarofthemonth"

This month I am featuring a Black LP Special from ‘92 ,and it’s very close to the original one I owned for the HITS tour (1990). 30 years ago when the tour began and I would always open the show for “I Stole Your Love” using this model guitar. It features cream binding, and a rosewood fingerboard. I upgraded the pickups to Dimarzio’s, DP 154, and 162 DLX Plus, both great sounding mini humbuckers. I added gold bonnet knobs and pickup toggle tip add contrast. I don’t know when I sold the original, but this one is very close in features, tone and vibe. A cool sound, with the mahogany body and these unique pickups. Black finish, for KISS coolness. #dimarziopickups #gibson #lespaulspecial #hitstour #kisstory #guitarofthemonth

According to Bruce Kulick official web page: "When I joined KISS in 1984 I had a Blue Charvel, and that one was my main guitar. This was the other one. Featuring three EMG pickups, it had a nice gold sparkle finish, ebony fingerboard and a Floyd Rose bridge. What was odd was that the finish started to fade and Grover Jackson from Charvel® Guitars either got me another body or refinished the original one, I don't remember. But it just never sounded as good as I wanted after that, and eventually I sold or traded it to someone many years ago"
