May I ask where you ordered from? Can't see any for sale over here yet. Would prefer the older Epi Ace Frehley with the thunderbolt inlays, but they are also impossible to find!

Just from a local music store that is an Epi dealer, i ordered 2 but if i get them is another question, find out next week if they will be in stock here.

Called my local Epi dealership and will be leaving a deposit tomorrow. I'm not an LP man, but I've had an Ace Frehley itch for a while

Just to add, it's nowhere near $9000 so I'll happily take a punt on it!

Yes. They are about a tenth of that!! 3 pickup though, blah!!!

I wouldn't mind one of these, I prefer blocks over lightning bolts for the inlays, though I don't like the three pickup configuration.

A classic cherry sunburst with two pickups please for me, though I am not buying another guitar, I swear!

Bulk buy for the VVF guys !

if you read the thread on kissfaq.com:

you'll see that the epi is more faithful to the original than the gibson


I still don't "understand" why they call it the budokan since the budokan LP Ace has played is a bit different...

I'm a drummer, so my opinion probably means little...but this is just a classic looking guitar. Good for classic rock, hard rock, country or whatever. Just a meat and potatoes electric guitar. You can't go wrong with that can you?

Ive never been a artist guitar guy, and the thought that the korean epi will be closer to the original is just wishful thinking, any Korean made guitar varies greatly in quality from lot to lot. The thing I do like is that only the truss rod cover has ace's name on it, I hate someones name plastered all over a guitar.

Looks like Zsounds is advertising them for 799.00 thats not to bad at all for the upgrade's from a typical Korean epi. Not sure what the price will be down under hopefully not to much more for those fans that want one.

$800? I thought guitars cost a minimum of $9,000?

Its funny Paul has his new Washburn "Starfire" out ( just plain ugly looking ) , Gene has his Axe GUITAR ( why would u bother it looks stupid as a 6 string ) and Ace has the winner with his Signature Les Paul, i know what im getting.

I do like how the strings go through the body on the Axe guitar though.

Not for me, but it's nice to see they put the damn pick guard on this one.
