Signature Lifeson Power With Axcess Comfort And Floyd Control
If you grew up air-guitaring to Rush, this is the Les Paul that actually lets you pull off those moves. Thick, singing Les Paul power, a fast Axcess heel, and a rock solid Floyd Rose 1000 all come together in a guitar that is way more versatile than a traditional LP.
Epiphone worked closely with Alex Lifeson and Gibson to nail the feel and flexibility of his famous Les Paul Custom Axcess, then brought it into a price range normal humans can reach. Real talk, this thing covers everything from glassy cleans to molten gain and stays in tune while you abuse the bar.
Mahogany Punch With AAAA Quilt Maple Top
The classic recipe is here: a solid mahogany body for that thick, midrange growl, paired with a AAAA quilt maple veneer that adds snap, clarity, and visual wow factor. You get that familiar Les Paul bloom on sustained notes, but with enough top end cut to keep your riffs from turning to mud.
The Ruby gloss finish looks wild under stage lights. The multi ply binding around the top and headstock keeps it classy, while the quilt figuring and gold hardware give it that high end custom shop vibe without the custom shop price tag.
Axcess Heel And Rounded Neck Feel
The Axcess contour heel is a game changer if you live above the 12th fret. Instead of the old school block heel fighting you, the body is carved so your hand glides up to the highest frets like a modern shred guitar.
The rounded mahogany neck feels substantial but never clunky. Paired with a 12 inch radius ebony board and medium jumbo frets, bends are smooth, chords stay comfortable, and fast runs feel controlled rather than skinny or cramped.
Ceramic Pro And Probucker 3 With Coil Splits And Phase Tricks
The Epiphone Ceramic Pro neck pickup brings a thick, singing voice that still has definition on complex chords. The Probucker 3 bridge pickup has the bite and output to drive an amp hard without turning harsh, perfect for tight riffs and soaring leads.
Both volume knobs are push pull for coil splitting, so you can flip from full humbucker roar to single coil style chime in an instant. The neck tone control is also push pull, kicking the neck pickup into a phase reverse that unlocks those nasal, cutting, Lifeson approved textures in the middle position. It is a full toolbox of tones without needing a pedalboard the size of a coffee table.
Floyd Rose 1000 For Divebombs And Stable Pitch
If you are going to put a Floyd on a Les Paul, it has to be the real deal. The Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and R4 locking nut lock your tuning down so you can dive, flutter, and wiggle chords all night without watching your strings drift sharp or flat.
Grover Rotomatic tuners make string changes easy and precise, and the gold hardware ties the whole look together. This is the rare Les Paul that feels just as at home doing prog, fusion, or modern rock as it does classic crunch.
