Legendary RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson and Epiphone present the new Alex Lifeson Epiphone Les Paul Standard Axcess electric guitar. Created by Lifeson and the luthiers at Epiphone in Nashville, Tennessee, the Alex Lifeson Epiphone Les Paul Standard Axcess is now available worldwide at Epiphone.com.
Through an extensive collaboration between Alex and Gibson, Epiphone pushed the boundaries of the classic Les Paul to create the exclusive Alex Lifeson Les Paul Standard Axcess. The guitar includes a pair of powerful Epiphone pickups — the Pro Bucker 3 bridge pickup and the Ceramic Pro neck pickup. It also includes coil-splitting options via the push-pull volume controls and a Graph Tech Ghost Floyd Rose system. Together these features give the player access to both traditional magnetic humbucker tones as well as the Ghost's realistic acoustic tones. For added flexibility, you can blend acoustic and magnetic voices to create a rich layered sound .
"The introduction of the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Axcess model based on my Gibson Les Paul Axcess model has all the same attributes and characteristics that I desired so much when we originally designed it," says Lifeson. "The look, the sound, the playability and the utility — it's all there for the player at any level. I'm very proud of this guitar."
To mark the occasion of his collaboration with Epiphone and the release of the new Alex Lifeson Epiphone Les Paul Standard Axcess guitar, Lifeson is proud to debut two brand new songs titled "Kabul Blues" and "Spy House". Fans can get a first listen to "Kabul Blues" and "Spy House" in the video below, and listen to the songs in their entirety exclusively at AlexLifeson.com. These two instrumental songs mark the first new music from Alex Lifeson in close to a decade.

Not a big Rush fan but did like “Tom Sawyer” and my favorite is “Subdivisions”
When I hear/see Rush mentioned, I’m always reminded of the “Chuck” episode “Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer”

Interesting.
Epiphone actually makes some very nice axes - especially if you like Gibson but don’t like Gibson prices.
Amazing drummer, amazing lyricist… and gone forever now.
A huge loss to the world… while so many others who cause nothing but misery still get to live.
No justice in this f***ed up world.
Absolutely cool that he collaborated on it. I had an old Epiphinr bass, loved it.
how can this be a Rush thread without any chopped-up sentence stumps dot dot dot
NextRush dude, now THIS is breaking news!
:-)
RIP Neil Peart.
:-)
is this under somehow license from Gibson?
Wow, that is well priced. I’m not really a Rush fan, but damn.
I listen to Rush Live in Rio a lot. Great crowd.
Still saddened by his passing.
Still raise a glass to Stevie Ray Vaughn too…
At least they left a treasure trove of music - REAL music, not the crap that gets passed off today
Yes indeed.
I thought so.
sold out.
I loved the South Park version:
“A modern day warrior named Tom Sawyer/He floated down a river on a raft with a black guy!”
