Although mostly known for the personality he assumes as "The Demon", lead singer and bassist of KISS, those who have spent time with Gene Simmons can tell you that he is a genuine person with a heart of gold. The original owner of this guitar, Richie Almera, can attest to that. Almera assisted Simmons on a couple of episodes of Simmons' show "Family Jewels", and was subsequently invited to KISS's October 10, 2009 show at Madison Square Garden. After the concert, Simmons handed Almera this Punisher Bass guitar that he had used during the very same concert, signed by himself and the other three members of the band - Paul Stanley, Eric Singer & Tommy Thayer. Each band member has placed his signature beautifully around the body of the guitar in outstanding silver felt tip marker. Rock n' roll collectors, take notice! This genuine stage used guitar signed by the full band will likely not surface again anytime soon. Accompanied by a Letter of Provenance from Richie Almera as well as a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) for the signatures.
