Every progressive guitarist knows that true innovation comes from balancing technical mastery with fearless creativity. The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue celebrates exactly that philosophy, faithfully recreating the iconic instrument that helped shape some of progressive rock’s most influential recordings. Inspired by Alex Lifeson’s beloved 1976 Gibson ES-355, this premium reissue captures the look, feel, versatility, and sonic character that accompanied Rush through decades of groundbreaking music.

Built with a five-ply maple/poplar semi-hollow body and a solid maple center block, the Alex Lifeson ES-355 delivers the warmth, resonance, and harmonic complexity that have made ES-style guitars legendary while maintaining excellent sustain and feedback resistance. The three-piece maple neck, complete with a period-correct volute, is paired with an ebony fingerboard featuring elegant large block inlays and a comfortable Slim C profile. Finished in striking Alpine White with gold hardware and multi-ply binding, it carries all the sophistication expected from the prestigious ES-355 lineage. The Maestro Vibrola tailpiece further enhances its vintage-inspired appeal while providing expressive vibrato capability.

The electronics package makes this guitar exceptionally versatile. A pair of USA-made Gibson T-Type humbuckers delivers everything from articulate cleans and rich jazz tones to aggressive rock crunch and soaring lead sounds. Traditional dual volume and tone controls are complemented by a Varitone circuit with dedicated bypass switch, dramatically expanding the tonal palette available at the flick of a switch. Whether you're recreating Alex Lifeson's iconic prog-rock textures, exploring blues and jazz, building modern studio tones, or just chasing the spirit of radio, this guitar offers remarkable flexibility. Complete with a custom hardshell case featuring Lifeson's signature, this Inspired by Gibson Custom model stands as one of the most compelling ES-355 recreations ever offered by Epiphone.
