Gibson Custom Alex Lifeson "Inspired By" ES-355 2008 - Alpine White (Pre-Owned)

Limited to 300 units worldwide.

This is a spectacular example of Gibson's early 2000's "Inspired By" series which saw limited runs of select iconic guitars.  These guitars are highly collectible, especial this Lifeson 355 which sports the ultra low production number of #07.

The Alex Lifeson ES-355 is a faithful recreation of the iconic Alpine White semi-hollow that became synonymous with the legendary Rush guitarist. Limited to just 300 examples worldwide, this Custom Shop model features a striking Alpine White finish, gold hardware, a Maestro long vibrola, ebony fingerboard, and the distinctive six-position VariTone circuit. Every detail captures the character and aesthetic of one of rock's most recognizable guitars.

Beyond its connection to Alex Lifeson and Rush, this ES-355 offers the unmistakable versatility of a classic Gibson semi-hollow, delivering everything from rich, articulate cleans to the cutting tones needed for progressive rock. With its limited production, distinctive specification, and place in Gibson's early artist-inspired Custom Shop history, this is a particularly appealing instrument for both players and collectors.

The condition over all is very good.  This guitar has seen minimal playing time, so it has remained preserved over close to 20 years of life.  There are some normal aging signs such as hairline finish cracks surrounding the binding and superficial scratches on the back.  Original hardshell case included.
