The Closest Thing I got to Alex's Signature Les Paul

I've been playing (and performed) RUSH songs on my guitar since 1976, and the last few years finances have been tough, so I can't afford to buy Alex's awesome Gibson Les Paul. Even though it isn't as exact as Alex's, I can play a lot of Rush tunes on it:

 

At last here are the photos of my modded Epiphone Plus Top Pro/FX Les Paul, I know call 'LES ZILLA'!

I swapped out the pick ups for an early 80's Dirty Fingers in the bridge,

and a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the neck:

I love the tones of these great pick ups in this guitar!!

I just came back from 6 months in Japan, I wanted one of these but I had so much luggage I couldn't swing it, thinking I could get one here...these are rarer then hens teeth, especially the DB...nice!

I would love a Les Paul with a floyd rose, but I prefer the 50's style neck and those models that have floyd roses are way too thin. And no chance in hell I'm modifying my custom shop Les Paul! But I bet his signature is an awesome piece of work :yes:

Coming soon. No permanent modifications to your LP.

Interesting. If it does no damage to the surface I'd put one on my Lester. Thanks Hunter!

It indeed looks intriguing. But I made myself a promise to never modify my Les Paul in any way being that I inherited it. I want it to stay as it was, which is damn near perfect. Besides that gives me reason to want another guitar ;)

You should try the Agile AL 3200. Great guitars.

Those look nice and I like the custom option so I can get the Floyd on it.

They are really nice and very close to the real thing. I was reading a thread on another forum where they had a real Axcess and one of these. Except for the headstock and lower horn, they looked almost identical. I've had several Agile AL guitars and they were every bit as good as a lot of Gibson LP's I've played. I have an AL2000 currently that I prefer over my PRS P22. The neck is really nice and it came with Seymour Duncan pickups.
