Gibson has partnered with KISS bassist Gene Simmons to launch their new signature G² Thunderbird bass guitar.
The Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird Bass, inspired by a sharp, sleek, staple of classic rock history, is built with a traditional mahogany body and mahogany neck but features an ebony fretboard with pearloid reverse split diamond inlays.
The limited-edition custom guitar and a modern hardshell case are available online at SamAsh.com for $2,799.
"Gibson is an outstanding company and has earned its place as a leading guitar brand with fans around the world," Simmons said in a press release. "The new G² Thunderbird basses are all handmade in the USA, with a sound that is off the charts. The design is so beautiful and collectible, they are simply works of art."
"Gibson is proud to 'Shout It Out Loud' that we are partnering with him to release the Gene Simmons G2 Thunderbird Bass," said the guitar manufacturing giant.
