Washburn Paul Stanley Preacher Series

Posted by Jon in • Cool Guitars,

Washburn PS7000
Washburn Guitars today announced the the addition of the very cool looking Preacher Guitar to the Paul Stanley Signature Series. The shape is like a Les Paul with a bit of KISS attitude thrown in! The Paul Stanley Preacher comes in four models and the PS9200WH pictured left is the top of the line deluxe guitar Paul has been playing on tour which is crafted in the Washburn custom shop along with the PS9000 and comes with Art deco headstock inlays, Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups and is available in black and white.

“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.’”
