| For 33 years, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson
has personified the consummate rock innovator ... a sonic adventurer capable
of producing mind-blowing power chords and dizzying arpeggios alike,
ultimately sculpted into huge, rich melodies and ingenious arrangements.
Throughout most of Lifeson's ride to superstardom,
a 1976 Gibson ES-355 has been by his side, both in the studio and
on stage. With it, he has created many of Rush's breathtaking
layered soundscapes, and the very same ES-355 continues to be an
indispensable part of his live arsenal. The Gibson Custom Shop Alex
Lifeson Signature ES-355 guitar is a painstaking recreation of this iconic
instrument.
This is a brand new guitar, serial number
AL 058 with full warranty including all of the extras. It was somehow
forgotten at Gibson and came to our attention last week and we snatched
it up. It is sold to us as a "Demo guitar" and was apparently used
at trade shows for display. We have carefully inspected it and any sign
of use has certainly been eliminated by the service guys at Gibson as it
looks brand new to us.
List price was $5700 Can and regular selling price
was $4200. We are selling this one at $3800.00 Canadian dollars! |
