Epiphone Signature Les Paul with Floyd Rose Tremolo
As a founding member of the iconic progressive rock power trio Rush, guitar legend Alex Lifeson can rightfully look back on his band's history spanning more than five decades, inspiring countless bands and defining an entire genre with their groundbreaking musical style and numerous studio albums. In close cooperation with Gibson USA, Epiphone now offers the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess in Ruby, a very special instrument for Rush fans that expertly captures Alex Lifeson's characterful sound and playing style and visually presents itself as the ideal combination of Vintage Les Paul Charm and modern heavypointments. Accordingly, the Singlecut electric guitar with a chiccurly maple top offers a full set of features, including Floyd Rose tremolo and split Epiphone Probucker pickups.
The Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess Ruby is a classic singlecut electric guitar which can meet any demands due to its modern equipment.
The rear Comfort-Carve Belly Cut allows a comfortable playing position at all times, even on longer sessions.
Ergonomic Les Paul Axcess Design
Alex Lifeson has always sworn by the modernized design of the Les Paul Axcess. Completely designed with ergonomics in mind, the Paula combines classic Les Paul features with a slim neck heel for accessibility to the highest fretboard positions and features an additional stabilizing flute at the junction with the headstock. The classic LP recipe, on the other hand, is followed by the solid mahogany body with a likewise solid maple top and additional AAA-quality curly maple veneer.
Both double winders are characterized by a direct and powerful sound and, thanks to sophisticated circuitry, offer useful additional tonal options that open up an enormous tonal spectrum for the instrument.
Powerful Epiphone Humbuckers
To do justice to Alex Lifeson's enormous tonal versatility, the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard Viceroy Brown relies on the combination of an Epiphone Ceramic Pro h umbucker in neck position and a ProBucker 3 at the bridge. Both humbuckers can be split separately via the push/pull functionality of the volume knobs, resulting in interesting combinations of punchy humbucker sounds and wiry tones of the single coil sound.
