Len Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Got this from a friend of mine who no longer uses it. 1976 Les Paul Deluxe converted to 3 humbuckers and then turned into a smoker used in a KISS tribute band. Gonna try and turn it back into a usable gigging guitar. May need some help from one of the big boys...

Len Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks everyone, I'll keep you posted ... I need to go thru all my parts, I may need 1 clean 70s/80s double cream Dimarzio PAF ... Anyone have one?
Brentrocks Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 YESSS!!!!!I cant wait to see the finished product!!!
crunchee Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 It doesn't look half bad, considering what it could've looked like. Hope it didn't have a lot of holes drilled into it, other than what can be seen in the photo.

Steve Haynie Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I got an e-mail from a shop that showcased how they recreated Ace's smoking Les Paul. If it were a web page there would have been a link posted here. If you want to see the e-mail with all the photos on how to correctly build a smoking guitar send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will forward it to you.
