This is the FIRST commercially available PSV2200B. You know! The USA Custom Shop Washburn Paul Stanley ‘V’ in deep black – EXACTLY the same one Paul plays live on the Sonic Boom tour!

This is the Summer NAMM 2010 display guitar. It’s the first PSV to be made from the USA custom shop that was NOT being sent to Paul. The FIRST is the FIRST!

Paul Stanley of KISS really, really did an amazing job with this guitar. When this V was being created, Paul conveyed to me in conversation that like his Preacher guitars, Paul wanted to redesign the classic single pickup ‘V’ which he used and loved in the earlier years of KISS. In this new guitar – there is no question a strong salute back to that 70′s guitar but this time around Paul added his own refinements which include a slightly slimmer body and neck profile, his now easily recognizable split block inlay on ebony fingerboard and bright white neck binding and just the coolest 6 in-line reverse headstock. This headstock just ‘works’ with this guitar. There is no question. And this headstock has a Mother of Pearl inlaid Washburn logo as well as a diamond shaped Paul Stanley custom truss rod cover. Other refinements from the original include just the most amazing white Seymour Ducan custom humbucker, better neck joint and of course – the Paul Stanley vibe!

So is this like a KISS thing?

OP's second post seemed like an advertisement.

Nice guitar really I like it.
Just was never a fan boy.Love Kiss tho'.
Paul Stanley has an awesome voice IMO.
I'll show this tread to a buddy of mine and I'm sure he will offer 3 times what you paid for it.He has the largest Kiss collection known to man.

After the Silvertone debacle, can anybody trust Paul's gear recommendations at this point?

[Grandturk]

I guess this just proves KISS fans will swallow... I mean.. buy anything.

It looks cool. I hate KISS, but I love flying Vs.

Black V, mirror plate, white neck pup

I knew I've seen this kind of guitar (or at least similar) before (not kept up with PS's endorsements)

Then it hit me:

Add Washburn to the list of companies that piss on "gentlemen agreements" for roundhorn Vees.

Actully Paul did have a Gibson V just like this one in the 70's...Damn.Why can't he just be with Gibson, or at least Ibanez again.His Silvertone stuff is a joke and who cares that he plays Washburns?
