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.

Bass players get no love, even here geddy gets no love..
Damn… that guy reminds me of Al DiMeola back in the day…
Very cool, thank you…
Makes me want to drag the Stratocaster out and hook up to my Mesa Boogie and wake up the neighbors…
he was pre dimeola
I nominate Joe Walsh…. If a Canuck is preferred, then Neil Young it is.
Yep, Epiphone (owned by Gibson) produces Les Paul guitars. I’m sure the Gibson version is much better, but for my needs it’s awesome.
Bmmky
I was that kids dad.
My band always wanted to play Rush songs....except the drummer ... because he could not pull off Pearts drum parts.
I found the Rock Doc ‘Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage’ very interesting.
Did not know that... Amazing guitar work.
Will check out more of his work, thank you!!!
i did not know that, thx...
Most probably!
Gibson guards its licensing very closely.
This guy has some of the coolest riffs and licks around. And he’s always had a killer tone with excellent spatial effects. Just the right combination of chorus, delay, reverb, etc.
I saw that, too. Hilarious.
see post #48 Gibson owns them, i dint know that
$899, quite reasonable
