Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Standard Axcess Electric Guitar With Epilite Case, Viceroy Brown

It’s safe to say that progressive rock – and rock as a whole for that matter – would not be the same without Alex Lifeson and Rush. The enormous and dramatic sound produced by three virtuosic musicians with an ear for classic pop sensibilities is legendary in every right. With this Epiphone Les Paul designed in close collaboration with Lifeson, that boundary-pushing drive comes alive. This Les Paul is built to keep up and excel in riffing in classic Rush fashion, but there’s so much more.

This exceptional Epiphone entry begins with a mahogany body matched with a mahogany neck in an Artist Profile shape. The classic Les Paul look carries with it all the stunning style of an iconic burst finish and Indian Laurel fingerboard. On first sight, this Les Paul is a knockout but when plugged in and picked up, that’s where it truly comes alive.

In a unique development, the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard comes equipped with Ceramic Pro neck and ProBucker 3 bridge pickups with coil-splitting options through their push/pull volume controls. Already, this guitar shows an enormous amount of sonic versatility to play through a variety of styles. These pickups come with a secret weapon of sorts, a set of Ghost piezo bridge saddles. Traditional humbucking, coil-split, and Ghost acoustic tones are all in this guitar’s vocal range. Play with a deep tonal pool and still have Les Paul kick to reach the cheap seats.

Further twists on the Les Paul formula augment this Lifeson creation. It features two outputs – traditional mono and independent magnet and piezo – that can be used to expand the sonic landscape even wider. Playability is built upon with the addition of a Graph Tech Ghost Floyd Rose tremolo bridge and Floyd Rose R4 locking nut.

Rush fans and Epiphone innovators alike are sure to find something special with the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess.
