Presenting the Ibanez Limited Edition PS3CM Paul Stanley Signature Model w/ Black “Cracked Mirror” Top.
To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Ibanez PS10, the original signature model for the celebrated front man of the legendary rock band KISS and Ibanez Signature Artist Paul Stanley, Ibanez and Paul have teamed up once again for the release of a special limited edition anniversary model, the PS3CM.
Using pieces of black mirror acrylic, Ibanez have painstakingly recreated the look of Paul’s classic “cracked mirror” PS, but with an added visual twist. The black acrylic pieces of shattered mirror help give this model the appearance of a “cracked” PS10. Each piece of black mirror acrylic has been cut to be an exact match to its corresponding piece on Paul’s original Cracked Mirror PS, and affixed to the guitar at the very same angle. Both Paul and Ibanez are very proud to offer the new limited edition Ibanez PS3CM as the latest addition to the storied lineage of the Ibanez PS.
