In this interview, Alex Lifeson of Rush delves into his love of the Epiphone Les Paul, his relationship with Gibson brands and provides an in-depth look into the design of his new Epiphone 2023 Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess.

Alex Lifeson has pushed the boundaries of progressive rock and guitar innovation with a masterful command over his instrument. As a founding member of the iconic band Rush, he perfected a playing style that soars beyond the drama and the bluster to reveal truly stunning virtuosity that has been praised and admired by fans—and players—alike. We are honored to announce the next release in our partnership, the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess signature model for 2023, in this premium, Ruby finish.

Created through extensive work with Alex Lifeson and Gibson, the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess similarly redefines the boundaries of the classic Les Paul in an accessible, versatile package. This guitar carries all of the traditional tones that have made the Les Paul legendary, along with unprecedented levels of sonic and performance agility.

Developed in close partnership with Alex, his new artist model Les Paul Custom features a signature single cutaway with belly scarf for added comfort when holding or sitting with the guitar. As for tonewoods, the mahogany body with AAAA Quilt Maple veneer provides the warmth and resonance you need from a Les Paul but with the added high-end snap for solos and guitar lead lines. Finished in a Ruby gloss with white top binding for a standout look, the guitar builds on the original Axcess Crimson model, refreshing it for 2023 in a new exciting finish. The Ebony fingerboard with medium jumbo frets is comfortable on the fingers, adding a subtle warmth in tonality and the rounded Axcess neck profile with Axcess heel, allows you to get to the higher registers with ease.

The black gloss Kalamazoo Epiphone headstock with Mother of Pearl Epiphone and Custom Split Diamond logo, features signature embellishments such as the short bell truss rod cover with Alex Lifeson’s signature, and white binding.

The Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess Standard carries powerful Epiphone Ceramic Pro neck and ProBucker 3 bridge pickups with push/pull coil splitting on the volume controls, along with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo—the world’s most efficient vibrato.

Along with all this, the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Custom Axcess still presents that timeless Les Paul look that has remained a classic for more than 60 years.

Finally, gigging musicians will appreciate the included hardshell case, keeping your guitar safe in transit.

The Alex Lifeson signature Epiphone Axcess is available now from Epiphone.com or your local dealer.
