Alex Lifeson Les Paul at MF

Sign in to disble this ad
MF is debuting a new Alex Lifeson Les Paul guitar. Looks pretty sweet. It can be all yours for a mere $3,999 or you can get an autographed guitar for $5,999. The picture does it no justice. Looks much better in the catalog, the edges are much darker then shown.

I've always had an issue with LP-style bodies sporting anything other than a hard tail. Don't know why.

I like les pauls, yet I don't seem to play mine much.

Would really like one with a floyd rose, so this I like!

Yay! Gibby Les Paul with a Floyd Rose, for only an extra $1500 than it would cost to do it yourself!

It has always seemed odd to me that there would be a "signature" Les Paul when the Les Paul itself is a signature model.

Yeah, I mean now that you neutered all the sustain out of the thing, you might as well play this

Agile AL-2000 Black Floyd at RondoMusic.com

and save 3 GRAND. I mean, once properly set up, I cannot possibly imagine it being that much different. Well, save for the fancy top and name badge. Yes, I am being serious.

Thing is that there is already an Alex Lifeson sig Gibson ES-E355.

Still, as a Rush fan and guitarist, me want.

I have no need for the guitar. Can I just get Alex Lifeson to sign my coccyx for $2000? That would be sweet indeed!
