BW&BK; has received the following press release:
Washburn Guitars, pioneering the world's finest cutting-edge instruments for over 125 years, announced today the addition of the Preacher Guitar to the PAUL STANLEY Signature Series. The new line combines the distinctive style and tone of KISS' iconic frontman with Washburn's commitment to craftsmanship and customization.
The Paul Stanley Preacher comes in four models, allowing for a wide array of features and designs for musicians to choose from. Each instrument will allow guitarists worldwide to harness the legendary, rock-driven tones of the Star Child himself. All the guitars in the series feature a mahogany-set neck and body, Grover 18:1 tuners, and are the result of intense collaboration between Paul and Washburn.
"What I wanted to do in designing the Preacher was to create a new guitar with an old soul," said Paul Stanley of Kiss. "In essence, a historical classic that could have, but never actually existed. The design incorporates all the features, tone and spirit of an old iconic guitar but with better neck access and a unique take on a familiar shape. I was determined to retain all the characteristics that made a legendary guitar the gold standard for the last 50 years and yet create something new, unique and improved. I like to call it 'history with an attitude.'"Paul Stanley worked intimately with Washburn on the design and construction of each unique guitar in the Preacher Guitar series. By lending his ideas and technical expertise, four exceptionally innovative instruments are now available for guitar enthusiasts everywhere.
"Paul Stanley has mesmerized fans for decades with his distinctive sound and style," said David Karon, Artist Relations Manager at Washburn. "He has contributed that same dedication and attention to detail during every step of the design process. From the shape, feel and tone of the guitars, Paul has had a vision for the Preacher Series and his vision has paved the way for one of the best Washburn guitars available."The guitars will be offered with various components and features, including two models that are handcrafted in Washburn's custom shop.
