Limited run of 50 guitars that come with a signed photo and an exclusive pressing of Alex's album "Victor". 

Arriving at the next stop of the tone journey

By 1984, Alex Lifeson had thoroughly come into his own as a player in terms of sound, style, and skill. After spending the previous decade cutting his teeth on a variety of stock instruments from major manufacturers, he had dedicated himself to the Hentor Sportscaster platform. These guitars gave him the critical mix of playability and tonal versatility required for his rapidly evolving sonic sensibility–which was increasingly making use of delay and modulation effects alongside his clean and overdriven sounds. During the recording and touring behind Grace Under Pressure, Alex’s main Sportscaster was an eye-catching red model with a mirror pick-guard which has served as the inspiration for the Grace guitar.

Like Limelight, Grace takes advantage of state-of-art hardware choices and modern craftsmanship to present a 21st century take on the Sportscaster concept. High-quality body wood is matched with re-tuned pickups and electronics for an exceptionally built, versatile instrument that excels in any genre. “Working with Alex to craft and refine these signature instruments has been an amazing opportunity to push the boundaries of what we believe a modern, versatile instrument should be capable of,” said Godin Guitars President and CEO Simon Godin. “Grace represents the latest evolution of our collaboration and–befitting the album that it is named after–is a testament to what can be achieved when brilliant creative minds come together in pursuit of musical excellence.”

The body electric

Grace has a contoured swamp ash body for premium comfort and a maple neck with 12” radius ebony fretboard and medium stainless-steel frets for fast and intuitive playability. Like the original it has an HSS pickup configuration for maximum versatility, and the pickups have been custom wound by Mojotone to Alex’s specifications to ensure balanced performance in all pickup positions. Players have a choice of the classic Floyd Rose tremolo system or a Vega Trem with 18:1 locking tuners for superior tremolo performance with rock solid tuning stability.

“We were blown away by the positive feedback we got from the release of Limelight earlier this year and knew that we wanted to do another one,” said Lifeson. “With Grace, we wanted to pay tribute to the 40th Anniversary of Grace Under Pressure by building off of my favorite guitar from that period and–much like Limelight–evolving the concept to create an instrument with a sound and playability that would speak to modern players.”

“It’s a beautiful instrument that suits many different styles of playing,” he continued, “and the mirrored pick-guard comes in handy for late night sessions when you need, um, to check, ah, your hair or something.”
