Kiss guitarist and Epiphone endorsee Tommy Thayer has introduced his latest Epiphone signature model. In addition to two other Les Paul™ and an Explorer™ model, this latest model is called the Tommy Thayer “Electric Blue” Les Paul outfit. It features a custom electric blue paint finish, Seymour Duncan JB™ humbuckers with an open-coil pickup in the bridge position, blue top-hat control knobs, mirrored pickguard and an EpiLite ™ case. The electric blue paint and mirrored pickguard are sure to be eye catchers while the mahogany body with a maple cap along with the Duncan pickups are sure to make the guitar sound as good as it looks!
