"Sweet acoustic guitar to share with you all! A 2003 Montana built Gibson J-185, with a blonde finish, cause blondes have more fun!"

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.

"This GOTW, is a Gibson LP Goldtop 57 RI, with a dark back stain, from 2009. A sweet guitar, that rocks, and does Jazz very well. I used it recently in my "Christmas Time is Here" song with my wife singing. (Google that!) Gold finish, slight VOS, dark rosewood fingerboard, and a dark back stain, (not common) it's a bucket list guitar for me that is part of my life now, happily. Let's call it a holiday gift to me! #goldtop #gibsoncustomshop #darkback #rosewood #lespaulgoldtop #bucketlist"

"KISS Guitar of the Month of April ESP BK Signature Model 1996.

This prototype is a fantastic black custom shop ESP guitar. It appears on COS, and this model was used on UNION releases as well as my solo CD's. Here's the story behind the guitar, and just listen to the tone! There were 100 made - some neck thru and some bolt on. This is the Prototype, and it appears on Carnival Of Souls from KISS. It's a fantastic instrument, built by the ESP custom shop in Japan. #espguitars #espguitarsjapan #signaturemodel #brucekulick #carnivalofsouls #kisstory #uniontheband #audiodog #transformer #bk3 #customshopguitar"

"Guitarist Bruce Kulick of Grand Funk Railroad (and formerly of Kiss) tells you what he likes about the LTD EC-401"

"If we played the song live, playing the solo would be torture for me. My new toy was the then fashionable Whammy by Digitech guitar pedal. I added it to my arsenal on the advice of producer Toby Wright because I was looking for a sound that would outperform the Revenge solo. COS was supposed to be darker, dirtier and heavier than Revenge. Fortunately, I found common ground with this pedal and used it to play octaves. The Sunburst ESP Horizon guitar with a Floyd Rose typewriter performed very well on the recording. The sound was just right, considering that the lyrics of the song Jin had one foot in hell, because the track was called "Hate"!"
