The Story

Custom Shop Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Electric Guitar Ebony

For over 40 years, Rush has been pushing the boundaries of progressive rock music with complex song structures, rippin' solo's, and killer riffs. Behind all that awesome guitar playing over the years has been founding member Alex Lifeson. Lifeson has teamed up with Gibson to release his signature Les Paul Axcess model, a guitar that is built to do it all. Featuring the traditional Les Paul tonewoods of mahogany, maple, and rosewood, the guitar has some unusual modifications to make it a Les Paul unlike any other.

The Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess carries two high-output humbucking pickups with series/parallel wiring options via its push-pull volume controls, and a Floyd Rose® licensed unit that not only provides the world's most efficient vibrato system, but is also loaded with GraphTech™ Ghost® piezo bridge saddles. Access traditional Gibson magnetic humbucker tones, mix it up with fat and funky series/parallel options, tap the Ghost's® realistic acoustic tones, or blend acoustic and magnetic voices— the sky's the limit from this sonic chameleon, whose sound-shifting depths are virtually limitless. What’s more, you can route it all through a traditional mono jack (labeled “Regular”) using a single guitar cable, or use two cables to split your sonic trickery off into separate output paths using the “Regular” and the “Life-O-Sound” output jacks together.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Tremolo Arm, and Paperwork
