This is the Epiphone Tommy Thayer Signature “White Lightning” Les Paul Standard, produced between 2015–2019, and inspired directly by Tommy Thayer’s iconic stage guitar.
The finish is the star here — a Metallic White / Silver Flake that’s understated indoors but absolutely explodes under light. It’s not flashy in a gimmicky way; it’s refined, bold, and unmistakably rock-ready. Photos don’t fully capture how alive this finish looks in person.
🎸 Condition
This example is in exceptional, near-mint condition, with hardly any signs of use.
No notable dings, chips, or damage
Finish is clean and vibrant
Hardware presents beautifully
Frets are in excellent shape with minimal wear
It honestly looks and feels like a guitar that spent most of its life in the case. Original 3 way toggle switch was slightly loose and replaced with a new Epiphone toggle switch. Original switch is included.
🔥 Playability & Sound
This guitar absolutely shreds.
The neck is comfortable and fast, the setup feels dialed-in, and it plays effortlessly up and down the board. The factory Seymour Duncan pickups deliver exactly what this model is known for — tight, aggressive Les Paul punch with clarity and articulation that holds together under gain.
It’s equally at home ripping leads, chunky rhythm work, or classic rock tones.

⭐ Why This One Matters
The White Lightning model has become increasingly desirable thanks to its distinctive finish, strong artist association, and limited production window. Clean, complete examples like this — especially with the white case and signed COA — don’t come up often.
Whether you’re a KISS fan, a Les Paul player, or a collector, this is a standout piece that balances real-world playability with legitimate long-term appeal.
Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.
Buying direct from me
I bought this guitar, inspected it, photographed it, dialed it in, and I'll be the one packing it. If something isn't right when it arrives, you're not filing a ticket — you're emailing the person who put it in the box.
Same guitar, same packing, same insurance, same 3-day return window you'd get anywhere else I list it. It just costs less here, because there's no platform fee in the price.
Questions before you buy? Ask me anything — more photos, a specific measurement, or anything the listing doesn't cover.
