Paul Stanley 2000-2001 KISS Farewell Tour Steve Carr Signed Custom Washburn Guitar

This Steve Carr custom made Washburn elecric guitar was specifically made for KISS guitarist Paul Stanley for the band's 2000-2001 Farewell Tour.

The guitar comes from the personal collection of Terry Nix, owner of Guitars of the Stars, who was partners with the late Steve Carr. Terry's experience with KISS and with Steve Carr is extensive and he has built up an extraordinary collection over the years. Guitar shows wear, and age. Comes with a letter of provenance from Jordan Nix and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
