You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best in Dazzling Electric Blue

The Tommy Thayer "Electric Blue" Les Paul was designed by KISS legend Tommy Thayer and is his fourth signature model with Epiphone. The unique Electric Blue finish came about via fellow KISS bandmate Eric Singer, who turned Thayer on to custom painter John Douglas who collaborated with the Epiphone team on the color. Thayer says, "I play the Epiphone all the time and they sound like a great guitar should." Thayer's guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan® humbuckers, engraved Tommy Thayer metal truss rod cover, chrome-finished pickguard, eye-catching Electric Blue sparkle finish, Spaceman logo on the back of the headstock, and a custom blue hardshell case. Available for a limited time.

Striking finish with eye-catching chrome accents

One thing's for sure — this limited-edition Tommy Thayer Les Paul is an eye-catching instrument. Covered in a striking Electric Blue finish with white single-ply binding, this guitar demands attention. From its pickguard to its pickup rings, toggle ring, switch tip, jack plate, and tuners, this guitar is covered with gleaming chrome accents. The fast-playing Indian laurel fingerboard is adorned with stunning trapezoid inlays. Blue bell knobs, a blue bridge pickup, and a nickel-plated bridge and tailpiece complete the picture. The Tommy Thayer Les Paul is definitely hard to take your eyes off of. But what else would you expect from a guitar that takes center stage at a KISS concert?

Seymour Duncan humbuckers yield hot-rodded tones

The Epiphone Limited Edition Tommy Thayer Les Paul comes loaded with dual JB Model Seymour Duncan humbuckers. The JB Model is an archetype hot-rodded humbucker, delivering abundant output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and an effective blend of sustain and distortion. These pickups are great for anything from heavy blues to heavy metal — with an emphasis on heavy! But excelling at aggressive music isn't all these pickups can do, as they clean up nicely providing warm, good tones that pair nicely with the Tommy Thayer Les Paul's mahogany body and Indian laurel fingerboard.

1960s SlimTaper neck profile — a players' favorite

Players worldwide appreciate Epiphone's 1960s SlimTaper neck profile for its fast and smooth playability. 1960s SlimTaper necks are thinner than '50s-style necks — the guitarists at appreciate how they stay out of the way of your fast lead playing, while still being substantial enough for comfortable rhythm playing.
