Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard - CHN 2022

Announced in 2021, the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard brings the look and feature set of Alex Lifeson's Gibson Les Paul Axcess to a far more accessible price point. The original was built around a classic Les Paul with a Floyd Rose style tremolo, coil splitting and a piezo system, giving the Rush guitarist everything from thick humbucker rhythm tones to acoustic textures from a single instrument, and this Epiphone version carries those ideas across faithfully.

This example is finished in Viceroy Brown, with a flame maple veneer top, cream binding and gold top-hat control knobs. The headstock carries the Les Paul script and Lifeson's signature, and a Graph Tech Ghost double-locking tremolo with piezo saddles is paired with a locking nut for serious dive bomb stability. The electronics pair an Epiphone Ceramic Pro humbucker in the neck position with a ProBucker 3 in the bridge, push/pull coil splits on the volume controls, and a dedicated piezo volume control.

The mahogany neck uses the slim, D-shaped Lifeson profile with an Indian laurel fingerboard, trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, making for fast and comfortable playability. Coil splitting opens up single-coil style voices from the humbuckers, while the piezo can be blended in or used on its own, adding a whole extra layer of tone for lead, clean and ambient work.

This guitar is supplied with its gigbag. Please refer to the photos for a full view of its condition, and feel free to get in touch if you would like any further images or details.
