The Ibanez PS60 Paul Stanley Signature electric guitar's specs and sound match the artist who helped create it. With a bigger-than-life stage show and a setlist of legendary rock anthems, KISS clawed their way to the top of the charts during the '70s to become one of the biggest acts in the history of rock 'n’ roll. In 1976, the band’s frontman, Paul Stanley, was approached by Ibanez to collaborate on a signature guitar that would become the iconic instrument he would forever be associated with. In 1977, when Paul and Ibanez sat down to create his signature guitar, it was to be a totally unique design, but while perusing through the Ibanez catalog, one guitar in particular caught the frontman’s eye: The Artist 2663. Later to be known as the "Iceman," the Artist wasn’t exactly a popular model at the time, but Stanley was intrigued by its asymmetrical shape and unusual body style and decided this would be the template for his signature instrument. The maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character and the purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass. The Ibanez Infinity pickups deliver an accurate and tight sound with excellent dynamics. Even under heavy settings, they do not lose tonal clarity.
