I'm pretty sure the AXN guy is a scammer? He definitely is at very least renowned in the 80s rock guitar scene as a prick for part out guitars and asking insane prices for the "guts"

You could make something just as good out of parts from builders for probably 20% of what those are likely to be "selling" for.

Wow! A yellow super strat from the guy who played in Kiss after the famous people. AWESOME! These will sell like hotcakes. I can play this with my Britny Fox and Bulletboys gear.

Yeah he’s notorious for grabbing older 80s guitars or even parts and hardware and trying to resell them for stupid cash. When I was getting into Charvel guitars a buddy told me to avoid AXN like the plague and I always have

I have no experience with AXN never even heard of them. But I LOVE Bruce's playing. He was my favorite KISS guitar player and one of my favorite 80s players overall. Highly underrated IMHO. He's been a lifelong ESP endorser so I wonder what's the deal with this new line.

I sold Kulick a Les Paul Standard Faded like in 2010. Transaction took place in my classroom on a weekend. I remember chasing my then really young kids around outside, while he was playing tasteful stuff inside the classroom with his pretty lady-friend (wife, maybe?) accompanying him. I dunno, seemed like a normal chill dude to me.

I would get one but I spent all my gear money on a Jimmy Crespo signature BC Rich. Dammit.

Ace is a known dick head and Vinnie is a real piece of work. Bruce is a decent guy and plays his ass off.

Yeah, agreed. I love his solos, especially Tears Are Falling. That first run in King of The Mountain is killer, and his playing on Revenge was a great shift for the 90s.
