The Very Beginning of the End: Gene Simmons' Stage Played Guitar Used for First Song Performed at First Concert of KISS' Last Ever Tour!
An incredible piece that is certain to be the centerpiece of the collection of the die-hard KISS fan, presented here is a Gene Simmons personal Punisher model bass guitar, personally stage used by the God of Thunder himself on August 18, 2021 during a KISS concert at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA. This was a notable show as it was the first of their last tour in 2021, and the guitar was the first guitar that Gene used to kick off the show and essentially the tour! Simmons used this very song to play a variety of KISS classics, including "Deuce", "Love Gun", "I Was Made for Lovin' You" and "Black Diamond". Once the show was completed, Simmons signed and inscribed the guitar in silver metallic marker, "My Stage Played Bass Guitar - Mansfield, MA - 8-18-21, Gene Simmons." The guitar stands in overall fine condition with Simmons' original custom pick strips with unused picks still affixed to the sides of the guitar. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
