Gibson Preowned Gibson ES-Les Paul Alex Lifeson Signature Model #9 of 200
This Preowned Gibson ES-Les Paul Alex Lifeson Signature Model is in good overall condition, with the original hardshell case, and COA. It is #9 of 200. It was owned by a long-time, regular customer who has sadly passed away, and we are helping his widow sell off his collection. As such, we aren’t entertaining any trades on this item. There is a bit of finish discoloration on the back, and a few dings, commensurate with a guitar of its aged that was regularly played and not a case queen (see photos). From Gibson about this limited run: "Gibson Memphis honors the world renowned guitarist of Rush with the popular new Les Paul-meets-ES-335 hybrid, made to the specifications of Alex Lifeson himself. Premiere tone is produced thanks to quarter-sawn, thermally engineered Adirondack spruce bracing and a thermally engineered Mahogany centerblock, two PAF-like MHS humbuckers, matched potentiometers, historic truss rod, titanium bridge saddles, a bone nut and more, while rolled neck binding delivers a sublimely comfortable playing feel."
