KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer has issued the following update:

"A few days ago I took a sideline from the KISS Alive/35 tour and traveled to the Hughes & Kettner manufacturing facilities and headquarters in St. Wendel, Germany. The plan was to visit the great people that build the my TT Signature Edition HK amplifier and walk-through the vast manufacturing plant were they build HK amplifiers and HK Audio gear. The highlight was the amazing hospitality afforded to me by all the people there. After the tour of the plant, I did a meet and greet, signed posters and took photos with all the HK employees and then met 50 contest winners. It was a great day and I was proud to get a behind the scenes look at how the Hughes & Kettner family builds these fantastic amplifiers. Thanks again to everyone at Hughes & Kettner!"
