In celebration of Rush's 40th Anniversary, Gibson Custom presents the Limited Edition Alex Lifeson R40 Les Paul Axcess offered in a run of 200 guitars with 5A quilt maple tops in a lush Ruby Red R40 finish. It also features a Limited Edition "Starman" R40 die-caste medallion covering the rhythm/treble switch access cavity.
Created through extensive work with Alex Lifeson himself, the Gibson Custom Signed Alex Lifeson 40th Anniversary Les Paul Axcess Quilt 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 wiring options via 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 Graph Tech 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. Hardshell case included.

A great guitar player and a wonderful human being.
inveigle Yeah. All three of them seem like they are genuine, decent people.
@@MattC0621 the best guitarists play and that's all = humble, nice, liking to share with the others
Saw them last year on the R40 tour at Madison Square Garden for the first time! There will never be another band like em... One of the best nights of my life!!
Yea im glad i saw them every tour since r30. Truly amazing in every way.
I grew up with RUSH and first saw Alex live in 1977. Changed my life and my guitar playing forever. Thank God he is still with us and making his vision available to us in so many ways. I was lucky to find a photo in Hit Parader of him then, now I can find Alex any where I choose, Modern is often better. Godspeed.
Most underrated guitarist ever... EVER hands down!
Total respect for Alex always.
Nice guitar...and man
gorgeous guitar. and i'm a bass player.....
We can all appreciate a great instrument! I'm a bass player too lol.
That is the best looking guitar I’ve ever seen.
I saw these guys in '84 at the Texxas Jam at the Cotton Bowl. I was 13... my first concert. Rush was the headline act, along with .38 Special, Ozzy, Bryan Adams and a couple of others. I had been obsessed with Rush since the first time I heard Tom Sawyer when I was around 10 or 11 I guess. That concert cost between $15 and $20... different time. Great show!
I absolutely love the pickups in that guitar.
One of the greatest guitarists talking about one of the greatest guitars Gibson ever produced. Am I the only one who thinks Alex looks like Captain Kirk though?
parece sim kkkk
That is a cool guitar. Designed by a awesome player!🎸
i'm not a musician but it is a beautiful work of art
As brilliant in the fingers as in the mind, Lifeson is most definitely Canada's greatest guitarist. His clever licks and heavy passages are inspiring guitarists worldwide. Few guitarist's can capture that heavy crunch tone in the style of Jimmy Page.
Cloud 9 IMO he shares that spot with Ian Chrichton (from Saga) Both awesome players 👍
Love you Alex
Cool guitar.
didn't this come up like a year or 2 ago?
"the Les Paul is a great platform"
Yeah I own one. They're heavy as fuck. You could actually use it as a platform.
This is some FUNNY shit. As long as you didn’t lean it on the headstock it will make one hell of a platform.
Play it!
I only heard the tonality of the wood discussed by by Paul Reed Smith. He claims that's what makes his guitars sound different.
Wood makes essentially no difference on an electric guitar. Paul can't build guitars for shit anymore, either - he admitted it himself.
I had to stop watching after Alex talked about playing live in the future because it’s too sad now. R.I.P Neil Peart
What's with all the dislikes?
NewYorkRush Just Haters - they can't help it.
Traditionalists don’t seem to like Floyd rose on les Pauls. Oh well. I plan to own the customer with the rose
Those are called cork sniffer purists who can barely play guitar but because they can afford old Les Pauls they think it gives them the right to be snobs hahaha.
They are all priests of the Temples of Syrinx, who are well known for their loathing of guitars.
very good but not the bypass knob which is important to play with
WHY, since you went as far as installing a GT piezo rig on the bridge, did you NOT put the GT MIDI 13 pin output on it as well??? Makes no damn sense at all. >:(
Zeek Duff ...maybe you weren't paying attention on how much wood from the body they had to remove without a 13 pin midi output?
Just buy a boss Sy-300 synthesizer pedal and you'll have everything you want. No 13 pan cable needed

How much?
Nice guitar, but I prefer when Alex played with the PRS..
+kid gloves The PRS were cool, but I love their sound and tone when he played his Hentor Sportscaster back in the 80's!
+socialdef3 yes! those would be the next favorite in my opinion!
sorry kg but you play what made you ,i was so glad to see him come back to his Gibsons. He always played some but in the end the last 3 tours were gibsons.and thats the way it should be.
PRS!? Yuck....🤢
Really? I thought his tone with them was kinda thin, not to mention that he used waaaaayyyyy too many effects for most of the 90’s and early 2000’s. Personally I much prefer his tone and guitars from the Snakes and Arrows tour onwards
I love Rush and I love you Alex...BUT... those are OTPUT jacks on the guitar not input. Yes a cable goes INto them but that's it. Everywhere a cable plugs-in is not an input.And... I think its pronounced (but I could be wrong) pee-yay-zo and not pie-zo.Hey, we know. You're new to all this. With my help, soon you will be as awesome and successful of a guitar player as me! oh wait.. nevermind.Input it IS!!:-)
Haha! Hey, for as amazing as he is as a player you are 100% correct.
Where is the piezo?
In the saddles
It's fine now,sorry about that.
wow a 498t? that surprises me. love the band but cant see owning a gibson with a floyd. and this guitar is like 6 grand in canada. wow
Alex looks like some kind of monk.
guitar sounds like mine (he didn't play it)
what's the point of doing a guitar with Gibson in order to make it sound (and look) like a PRS? Gibson have enough money already.
You could ask why PRS made a Les Paul type guitar.
The video and audio are out of sync,by a lot.
ironz18 it's fine for me.
ironz18 No it's not
Want... so bad....
Gibson needs to stick to making guitars like this with the axcess neck joint and belly cuts and piezo system. These are innovations that improve upon the les pauls very outdated and inferior design. The locking trem also takes care of tuning issues like all les pauls have. If Gibson did this more often instead of 59 reissues and shitty innovations like the godawful zero fret nut and terrible automated tuning system...maybe they would be taken more seriously and mayne they would have never gone bankrupt
Al, it's pronounced pee-AY-zo,
not PIE-zo.
+Dancing Spiderman "Pie-zo" aka Pie-eyed is about 1/2 hour after last call at Larry's Hideway in TO, just after you've chugged em all & they've turned the lights on.
Paul Jager hahaha... you had me intrigued so I googled the place... walking out of the place is prolly what a drunk fish sees in a moving fishbowl
Yeah either that or "Pjetzo". As if it was slightly Italian.
I pronounce it potato 🥔
Does Alex wear a toupee or are they transplants? I know he was balding on top.
If it´s a toupee, it´s certainly a good one. I guess transplants.
what difference does it make? leave him alone!
I wouldn't care if he was bald
Floyd Rose on a Les Paul? It's just....silly. On a strat or PRS, why not. But this just looks dumb. It's like putting a spoiler, flashy rims, or painting flames on a classic 60 year old car.
enough talk and get to playing...
Gosh, I used to idolize Rush and Lifeson used to be one of my favorite guitar players, in the past, but now he is ridiculous! First of all, he should not "rape" Gibson Les Pauls guitars with Floyd Rose tremolos! That's exactly like a fist in your eye! If Gibson people let him to that is only because he is rich, famous, powerful and spoiled! So, 2 thumbs down for Gibson, too! Second, Alex, please stop wearing wigs! You look like a perverted priest and we all know you are a nice guy! C'mon, there's nothing wrong with being bold! Get your dignity back, and show your real cool head with no fear, man!
InnuMaccaband Sounds like all that is very important to you! Lol I mean why should Gibson change with the Modern times. Also obviously Alex should do everything and anything to make sure your impressed! 🙊🙊🙊
InnuMaccaband .....really....you totally rip on the nicest rock star alive. You rip on how he looks, and give him no credit for giving us 40 years of tours, a plethora of great songs and just the sacrifice these great musicians make for your entertainment.
You're a douchebag.....
Gibson has more models you can choose from....some people actually like Floyd Rose trends and Piezo saddles.
I'm a bit late here I know, but if you don't like the Les Paul Alex Lifeson Custom, don't play one. You can still buy traditional Gibson Les Paul Standards.
You're truly a pathetic person. Get well soon 👍
You will really flip when I tell you he added a Kahler to his ES355 at one point.
