My First Gibson: Tommy Thayer of KISS

With a knack for theatrics and a love for the show, it's no surprise that KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer's first Gibson was a Les Paul Goldtop. Growing up idolizing the greats that played late-50s Sunburst Les Pauls such as Ronnie Montrose, Tommy knew a Gibson Les Paul was what he wanted. In this episode of My First Gibson, Tommy tells us how, thanks to a supportive mom and a local Vancouver, WA newspaper, he found a used 1973 Goldtop Les Paul Deluxe that he was finally able to call his own.
