Th Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess: Timeless Les Paul Features Plus Unprecedented Contemporary Tone

In  his work with Rush from the '70s to today, Alex Lifeson has redefined  the boundaries of progressive rock guitar. Embodying far more than that  genre label often implies, Lifeson's             playing soars beyond the drama and the bluster to reveal  truly stunning virtuosity that has been praised and admired by fans—and  players—of all stripes, and has landed him in             the upper echelon of performance artists as a result.  Created through extensive work with Alex Lifeson himself, the Gibson  Custom Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess similarly redefines the             boundaries of the classic Les Paul: packed in a single  remarkable instrument, this guitar carries all of the traditional tones  that have made the Les Paul legendary, along with             unprecedented levels of sonic and performance versatility.

In addition to its traditional Les Paul tonewoods, the Alex  Lifeson Les Paul Axcess carries two high-output humbucking pickups with  series/parallel options on its push-pull volume             controls, and a Floyd Rose® licensed unit that not only  provides the world's most efficient vibrato system, but is also loaded  with GraphTech™ Ghost® piezo bridge saddles.             Access traditional Gibson              magnetic humbucker tones, mix it up with fat and funky  series/parallel options, tap the Ghost's® realistic acoustic tones, or  blend acoustic and magnetic voices—the sky's the             limit from this sonic chameleon, whose sound-shifting depths  are virtually limitless. What’s more, you can route it all through a  traditional mono jack (labeled             "Regular") using a single guitar cable, or use two cables to  split your sonic trickery off into separate output paths using the  "Regular" and the             "Life-O-Sound" output jacks together. All this, and the Alex  Lifeson Les Paul Axcess still presents that timeless Les Paul look that  has remained a classic for more than 50             years, in your choice of two stunning colors—Viceroy Brown  and Royal Crimson—both approved by the artist himself, and both  resplendent atop a stunningly figured maple top.
