    Kiss Custom Guitars

    I am thrilled to get my hands on two of the Kiss mego style figures from CTVT. As you may know, the reproductions do NOT come with guitars, but rather a useless "album art reproduciton". Not even a cut out like the original Megos!!! Don't they know that KISS is all about ROCK N ROLLLLLLLL!!!!!!??????!!!!!

    well, whatever... the company says it will be producing them but I grew sick of waiting an made these out of Balsa Wood. I tried to be as accurate to their instruments of the eras represented. First I did Gene's bass. A customized '59 Gibson EB-0. Check it here:http://www.vintageguitar.com/3353/kiss-able-gibson/



    Then I did Ace's Les Paul. I have it shown on the Love Gun figure, but it is actually a gift for my brother and his '74 Ace figure


    Finally, I did Ace's most famous 3-Pickup Les Paul:



    The straps are just electrical tape doubled up on itself. I tried to make these as close to the real thing as I could... I need some new paints!!!! Paul Stanley's Iceman is going to be super fun to make. It gives me one more reason to pick up another figure! Enjoy.

      Great job! Definately makes the figures more "complete".

                      Drums? Yup... that is in the works for the near future! Working on Paul's Ibanez Iceman first... perhaps a Alive! flying V too... then the drums. I'm more of a sculpting-guy and a guitar nerd so those are more fun to me. I'll be posting more soon, I know everyone's got Rock N Roll Pneumonia!!!!!!!
