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's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue is built around a five-ply semi-hollow body of maple and poplar with multi-ply binding around the top and back for the elegant look befitting the top-of-the-line ES-355. A solid maple centerblock adds sustain and greatly increases feedback resistance, delivering the versatile tone ES models are famous for. The three-piece maple neck features a volute for added strength at the neck\/headstock joint, just like the 70s-era original, and its Slim C profile is fast and easy to play. The bound ebony fretboard adds a touch of brightness while enhancing the exceptionally smooth feel, and carries mother-of-pearl large block inlays over 22 medium jumbo frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp top, the Gibson-style \"open book\" headstock is multi-ply bound and inlaid in mother of pearl with the Epiphone logo and Custom split diamond, while die-cast tuners with keystone buttons and a Graph Tech nut keep tuning stable. The truss rod cover is engraved with Alex Lifeson's name. Gold hardware — including a harmonica-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, gold pickup covers, and a gold Maestro Vibrola — completes the refined look and adds expressive vibrato with a push or pull of the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifeson's tone is faithfully recreated by two USA-made Gibson T-Type humbuckers, each with individual volume and tone controls using CTS potentiometers and Mallory tone capacitors, selected by a Switchcraft three-way toggle. A mono Varitone switch opens up additional tonal options, and a mini toggle lets you preset it and bypass or engage it at will, all wired to a Switchcraft 1\/4\" output jack. Finished in gloss Alpine White, it delivers Custom Shop feel without the Custom Shop price and arrives in a custom hardshell case with a black exterior bearing a reproduction of Alex Lifeson's signature, a red plush interior, and gold hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-ply maple\/poplar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e ES-335\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-hollow body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-ply top and back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 in. | 304.8 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Block\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glued in, set neck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graph Tech\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson T-Type\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson T-Type\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 volume, 2 tone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harmonica Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maestro Vibrola\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die cast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Witch Hats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell black IGC case with custom Alex Lifeson signature reproduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Includes Hardshell black IGC case with custom Alex Lifeson signature reproduction, red plush interior and gold hardware\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel# ECAL355AWGM\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60196566892625,"sku":"107087","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/img_e910cc242ac2.png?v=1787669159","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/epiphone-alex-lifeson-1976-es-355-reissue-electric-guitar-alpine-white-with-case","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
