Epiphone honors real rock royalty with the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard, the brand’s latest signature release, designed in collaboration with the Officer of the Order of Canada and Rush co-founder himself.
As one might expect from the prog power trio’s lone guitarist, the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard is all about performance. Epiphone’s outfitted this signature model with Ceramic Pro neck and ProBucker 3 bridge pickups, push-pull coil-splitting in the volume controls, dual output jacks, and a GraphTech Ghost Floyd Rose tremolo system with piezo bridge saddles for a modern twist on the traditional Les Paul tone.
Finished in Viceroy Brown, the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard preserves the iconic image of one of rock’s greatest guitars, made for one of rock’s greatest guitarists.
