His adventurous playing helped shape the genre, and\nnow his iconic 1976 Gibson ES-355 is reborn in a beautifully realized reissue from Epiphone. Part of the Inspired\nby Gibson Custom Collection, this model goes beyond a typical signature guitar, capturing Alex’s unmistakable\ntone, refined feel, and innovative spirit that fueled Rush’s groundbreaking music for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue sports a five-ply semi-hollow body constructed from layers of maple and\npoplar. Multi-ply binding on the top and back adds a touch of elegance worthy of the flagship ES-355 name. A\nsolid maple centerblock enhances sustain and significantly reduces unwanted feedback, delivering the\nwide-ranging, expressive sound that ES™ models are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts three-piece maple neck mirrors the construction of the original 70s-era instrument and includes a volute for\nadditional strength at the neck-to-headstock transition. The Slim C neck profile offers fast, comfortable playability,\nwhile the ebony fretboard contributes clarity, snap, and a luxurious playing feel. Mother-of-pearl large block inlays,\nalong with 22 medium jumbo frets, complete the fretboard. The Gibson-style “open book” headstock is outfitted\nwith premium die-cast tuners with keystone buttons and a Graph Tech® nut for reliable tuning stability. Multi-ply\nbinding frames the headstock, which is adorned with inlaid mother-of-pearl Epiphone and Custom split diamond\nlogos. Adding a personal detail, the truss rod cover is engraved with Alex Lifeson’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGold-finished hardware, including a harmonica-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and gold pickup covers, enhances\nthe guitar’s upscale appearance. A matching gold Maestro™ Vibrola™ adds expressive pitch control, allowing\nsubtle shimmer or dramatic movement with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlex’s distinctive voice is brought to life by a pair of USA-made Gibson T-Type humbucker™ pickups. These are\nwired to individual volume and tone controls using CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ capacitors, with pickup\nselection handled by a Switchcraft® three-way toggle. A mono Varitone switch expands the tonal palette, while a\ndedicated mini toggle allows the Varitone circuit to be engaged or bypassed as desired. A Switchcraft quarter-inch\noutput jack completes the electronics package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for musicians who thrive on exploration and evolution, the Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue\nencourages players to push creative boundaries, just as Alex Lifeson has throughout his career.
