Epiphone and Alex Lifeson have joined forces once again for a brand-new Les Paul Custom Axcess, dressing the Rush icon’s latest signature guitar in a Ruby finish and gold hardware.
That Ruby finish calls to mind the Royal Crimson of Lifeson’s #003 Gibson Les Paul Axcess model, but it’s a little deeper, and with the traditional Custom livery – block inlays, multi-ply body and headstock binding, split diamond MOP headstock inlay – it is, if anything, even more luxurious than its Gibson USA forebear. Zoom in on the pics; that AAAA quilt maple veneer really pops. This is a classy electric guitar.
