This 1998 Gibson Ace Frehley Signature Les Paul Custom in Cherry Sunburst is the player-owned instrument described, accompanied by a letter from Ace verifying his ownership. The guitar pairs a bound mahogany body with a AAA flamed maple top finished in Cherry Sunburst and an Ace-custom headstock. The set mahogany neck carries an ebony fingerboard with traditional pearl block appointments, added lightning-bolt inlays and a pearl "Ace Frehley" signature at the 12th fret. Cosmetic and build details match the signature run: bound body and headstock, chrome hardware and Grover tuners with pearl buttons. All wear marks were made by Ace himself.
Electrically the instrument is fitted with three DiMarzio Super Distortion humbuckers wired for high-output tones, and it uses Gibson’s ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece for classic Les Paul setup and sustain. Other production specifics tied to this run include custom Ace Frehley serial numbering and a hardshell case screened with Ace’s signature.
