In his work with Rush over several decades, Alex Lifeson has redefined the boundaries of progressive guitar rock, with playing that rises beyond drama and bluster to reveal a truly stunning virtuosity that has been praised and admired by fans of the group and countless guitarists.
Created through extensive collaborative work with Alex Lifeson and Gibson, this versatile and affordable Epiphone model redefines the boundaries of the classic Les Paul. This guitar offers all the traditional features that made the Les Paul legendary, plus unprecedented levels of sound quality and performance. The Axcess features powerful pickups: a ceramic Epiphone Pro in the neck position and a Pro Bucker 3 at the bridge. There's a push-pull coil split feature on the volume controls, as well as a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo system – the most efficient model in the world. On top of all that, the instrument still features that timeless Les Paul look that has remained a classic for over 60 years. A hard case is included.
