I love the sound of the guitar, it sounds a lot like Frehley's, but it doesnt give off enough distortion, so i use a Digitech RP150 and the result is a searing tone.

I love the 3 pick-up style, that makes this guitar unique from the ordinary SG or LP.

This guitar is pretty versatile, but it plays best for KISS songs of course, but i have NO problem with that, because that's the reason for me buying it.

I LOVE the finish! There was a slight problem with the Treble knob, but I called up the H.O.G. and they told me how to fix it.

Worth every penny, the true gift for any KISS fan!!

Didnt need to contact them.

This thing is a beast! It sounds amazing and looks fantastic. The neck is buttery smooth, very easy to play. Sustain for days, and the Dimarzio'? I play through an all tube amp, and there's a reason Ace has stuck with them for this long..

The three pickup design is Ace all the way, the guitar functions flawlessly.

I have yet to get a bad tone out of this guitar. I imagine it also has to do with the amp ( I'm using a Crate V50-112)

This is a very dependable guitar, I do tend to be careful with it, the Gibson/Epiphone headstock weakness is on my mine at times. I wouldn't mind having a backup for that reason alone, but haven't need one yet.

I think the value of this guitar is definatley worth the typical selling price. It sounds and plays far better than any Epi LP standard and looks really great. If you're not a Kiss fan, and can get past the inlays, the sounds this thing can produce would definatley be worth your time to check out.

I've only emailed them with simple questions and have gotten fairly quick responses. Thankfully, I haven't need to get ahold of them for something else.

This is a smoking guitar!!

sound is great I used this guitar it was lent to me by a friend after my gibson les paul was ripped off at a gig this guitar is really good it gives a gibson les paul a run for its money. I played this guitar in a live gig it did not let me down Now I am going to buy my own Ace model guitar !!!

pick up could use more bite but a really god axe

nice finish no blems on the Ace MOdel I played

wish it were a little more affordable

its good looking axe

Hard rock and metal

This guitar has and amazing sound but you will need some effects to get what you need for that amazing sound... I would suggest a destortion pedal and the new Mutron III.

I just saw this guitar at a store played it a little on a Marshall and I loved it! I tought the pickups were the right choice but i can't figure out what the fourth knob does!

the knobs keep on getting loose...the treble and rythem swithing thing keeps on get loose everytime i play it and i have no clue how many times i would have to go to a store to get the input thing were the plug goes in fixed! the top metal part keeps on getting so loose when I tighten it it would play so i have to go to a store and get one of those guys to fix it....

I think Ace or Epiphone priced it a little too much comparing to what other epiphone are for... But i love it!

I have never really talked to these guys i just go to a store to get this fixed....

Well im a HUGE kiss fan so when i saw it..i bought it

i aslo own the gibson custom shop since 2 weeks and i can barely notice about the sound except the price!!!!

this guitar have everything it takes to rock for the price its the best deal you can have.

ive send my ace frehley to the best luthier in town and the guitar has no problem of any kind no adjustment need.

yes without a doubt!!!!

dont know ive never had to deal with epiphone...

everybody who saw my guitar in my family the first reaction there had is wowww gorgeous even if they were not familiar with guitars!!!!
