Those seem as rare as hen’s teeth. I can’t figure out why they don’t make another run or three of these guitars. Happy NGD!
I bought mine off of Ebay from a Japanese seller because Sweetwater contacted me and told me they had to cancel my order because Epiphone told them they didn't have any to send them and were discontinuing the model.I figured they were trickling them out. OP says his from Jan 2022, and that's way after the ones from last year. It always seems like I saw them coming in waves on Reverb for example, and the last ones I saw for sale, really weren't much over retail.
The Gibson Lifesons are definitely not chambered……at least my 2015 is not.
Yep, the Lifeson is an Axcess, but the non Lifeson ones are the chambered ones. Alex wanted his sig model solid and he got it.Could have sworn I read the Alex Lifeson model was an Axxess and was chambered. Hmmmm....I could easily be wrong. /shrug
Either way, I'd still take one if the price was right. I've always wanted a Gibby LP, and one with a recessed FR is just the bees knees.
It feels pretty solid for having the routes already for the ghost system, battery, Floyd Rose, control cavity, and switching.Yep, the Lifeson is an Axcess, but the non Lifeson ones are the chambered ones. Alex wanted his sig model solid and he got it.
Don’t know for sure about the Epis.
Cool, what town?30 minutes outside of Phoenix, AZ.
Come on down!
Yes. Out in goat-roper/bush-popper territory - San Tan Valley....Cool, what town?
I lived in Tucson then later Scottsdale for many years. If I come thru sometime (likely not summer), I'll look you up!
I think Dale also lives in the valley of the sun, yes?

LOL - that's about 40 mins. from my place in San Tan Valley....Casa Grande!
I am looking at the same. How is tuning stability and how is the trem?This thing is stupid fun to play and sounds great. Made in January 2022!
I'm so stoked to have tracked one down.
To celebrate your new guitar, I'll leave this here. Alex / Geddy playing live yesterday with Primus.
Once you get the strings stretched out, it is as stable as my other Floyd Rose guitars.I am looking at the same. How is tuning stability and how is the trem?
