This is a very desirable Artist Collection Les Paul and one that has a lot going for it beyond just the Ace Frehley name. The spec is rooted in the late-2015 True Historic era, so you are getting a flamed maple top, mahogany body and neck, rosewood board, nylon nut, and a much more vintage-correct overall feel than many earlier signature models. I also like that Gibson did not overcomplicate it — this is basically a hot-rodded, stage-ready take on a great late-'50s Les Paul recipe. The Dirty Lemon Frehley Burst finish is a big part of the appeal too, as it immediately gives it that Ace connection while still looking classy in its own right. Gibson split the run across separate versions, with 250 VOS examples, 24 Aged examples, and 50 Aged & Signed examples.
Condition Report
Excellent condition. Presents very cleanly overall with only light signs of use. Any checking, light wear or minor ageing should be judged in the context of how these were originally built and stored, but overall this appears to be a very well-kept example.
