Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess Quilt - Ruby (Incl. Hard Case)

Alex Lifeson is one of the most influential progressive rock guitarists of all time. Playing to sellout stadiums for more than four decades with Rush, Lifeson's virtuosic chops and spellbinding tones redefined the boundaries of the electric guitar.

Created in close collaboration with Gibson, the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess lets you push the sonic limits with its impressive feature-set and modern construction tweaks — all in an accessible, versatile package. Featuring powerful Ceramic Pro (neck) and ProBucker 3 (bridge) pickups with push/pull coil splitting on the volume controls, a Floyd Rose tremolo and a contoured neck heel — this top-spec instrument is the ideal partner for not only Rush fans, but for guitarists who want one of the most modern, high-performance Les Pauls ever made!
