Epiphone Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar, Alpine White

The influence of Rush on progressive rock is immeasurable, and at the heart of that legacy stands Alex Lifeson—an innovator whose iconic tone, intricate riffs, and masterful technique helped define generations of guitar music. Now, Epiphone has partnered with the legendary guitarist to recreate one of his most celebrated instruments: the Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue. Inspired by the guitar that accompanied Lifeson on stages around the world, this Inspired by Gibson Custom semi-hollow electric guitar delivers the look, feel, and sound of a true rock icon.

Crafted with a five-ply maple and poplar semi-hollow body in a striking Alpine White finish, the Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue combines classic ES aesthetics with exceptional performance. A solid maple centerblock enhances sustain while minimizing unwanted feedback, allowing the guitar’s rich resonance and dynamic character to shine whether plugged in or played acoustically. Elegant appointments, including a tortoise pickguard and gold hardware, complete the unmistakably premium ES-355 appearance.

The three-piece maple neck features a comfortable Slim C profile modeled after Lifeson’s original mid-'70s instrument. Reinforced with a volute at the headstock transition for added strength, it offers a fast, effortless playing experience ideal for complex chord work, soaring leads, and expressive phrasing. An ebony fingerboard provides crisp articulation and a smooth, luxurious feel, while 22 medium jumbo frets and Mother-of-Pearl block inlays add both performance and visual refinement.

Premium hardware ensures reliable performance on any stage. A harmonica-style Tune-O-Matic bridge pairs with a Maestro Vibrola tailpiece for classic style and expressive vibrato effects, while high-quality die-cast tuners with keystone buttons and a Graph Tech nut provide exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation.

At its core, the Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue captures the signature voice of one of rock’s most influential guitarists. A pair of USA-made Gibson T-Type humbuckers delivers powerful, articulate tone, while a mono Varitone switch expands the instrument’s sonic range with a variety of distinctive voicings. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, combined with a three-way selector switch, provide remarkable tonal flexibility for everything from warm cleans to commanding rock tones.

Every Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue includes a custom hardshell case featuring a reproduction of Lifeson’s signature, plush red interior lining, and gold hardware. Combining vintage-inspired craftsmanship, premium appointments, and legendary heritage, this remarkable signature model brings an iconic piece of rock history within reach of today’s players.
