With a bigger than life stage show and some great rock anthems, KISS clawed their way to the top of the charts during the 70s to become one of the biggest acts in the history of Rock n' Roll. In 1976, the band's frontman, Paul Stanley, was approached by Ibanez to collaborate on a signature guitar that would become the iconic instrument he would forever be associated with. In 1977, when Paul and Ibanez sat down to create his signature guitar, it was to be a totally unique design, but while perusing through the Ibanez catalog, one guitar in particular caught the frontman's eye: The Artist 2663. Later to be known as the "Iceman", the Artist wasn't exactly a popular model at the time, but Stanley was intrigued by its asymmetrical shape and unusual body style and decided this would be the template for his signature instrument. Now, for the first time since 1996, Paul and Ibanez have reunited to introduce three exciting new Paul Stanley signature models.
The PS60 features a resonant Poplar body, slim profile Maple neck and Treated New Zealand Pine fingerboard for balanced tone. Electronics include a high output Infinity R Humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge position for a sound that will let you rock n' roll all night. Now, once again, you can get a piece of the legend that is KISS, with an Ibanez Paul Stanley Signature model.
