Seller's description

From Epiphone: "Alex Lifeson needs no introduction. His playing helped define the sound of progressive rock, and now his iconic 1976 Gibson ES-355 lives on in a stunning new reissue from Epiphone. Part of the Inspired by Gibson Custom Collection, it is more than just another signature model; it’s a tribute to Alex’s tone, feel, and fearless creativity that helped power Rush through decades of innovation. The Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue features a five-ply semi-hollow body made of maple and poplar. Multi-ply binding around the top and back gives it an elegant look befitting the top-of-the-line ES-355.

Its Slim C profile is fast and easy to play, while the ebony fretboard adds a touch of brightness to the tone and enhances the exceptionally smooth playing feel. The fretboard features mother-of-pearl large block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Gibson-style “open book” headstock features high-quality die-cast tuners with keystone buttons and a Graph Tech® nut, ensuring stable tuning. The multi-ply bound headstock is adorned with the Epiphone logo and Custom split diamond, both inlaid in mother of pearl to complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. For a personalized touch, the truss rod cover is engraved with Alex Lifeson’s name. Gold hardware, including a harmonica-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and pickup covers, further adds to its refined, elegant appearance, while a gold Maestro™ Vibrola™ delivers enhanced expressiveness with the push or pull of the bar. Lifeson’s tone is faithfully recreated courtesy of two USA-made Gibson T-Type humbucker™ pickups, each paired with individual volume and tone controls with CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ tone capacitors and selected with a
