Legendary Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson showed off his new Epiphone Les Paul Custom Axcess guitar this week.

Lifeson, who was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013 with Rush, collaborated with Gibson to create the kind of instrument he wanted. And in a video posted online, he said, “Playing guitar takes you to that place in your heart and your soul to express yourself creatively and to just have fun, it is just fun to play, it always has been and always will be.”

The custom Les Paul is available worldwide.
