CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Please. Any acoustic that is not a Martin is not worth any price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There was a video on youtube of him talking about how they developed this guitar. Not sure if it's still up there. Might have been around NAMM time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush-O-Matic Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There was a video on youtube of him talking about how they developed this guitar. Not sure if it's still up there. Might have been around NAMM time. This one? (at 2:29 - 3:17) And, also, he discusses it here during his visit to the store in Japan: Has anybody been keeping up with the Twitter feed for http://www.loucinguitars.com Loucin Guitar Company? They are building a custom guitar for Alex, and have been updating the process each day. My favorite post so far:How cool is ALEX LIFESON? I asked about inlay ideas "Let's inlay my mom's name @ 12th fret, on a guitar named after your mom" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a really nice guitar and perfect for what he needs it for. But very overpriced IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 "This week on Blowing Alex Lifeson..." It sounds like the Epiphone John Lennon model which is also very dense for an acoustic. The Epiphone can be had for less than a grand ($500 maybe) and John Lennon is a hair more famous than Al. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The price on that piece is ridiculous. I can't even take it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex puts a lot of time, energy and love into his guitars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 No guitar made this century is worth $9000. Period. End of story. Anyone buying this guitar is a fanboy with more money than brains. PRS are sucking Alex to cash in on his popularity which is at a particularly heightened state these days. The thing is there are morons that will buy this thing. There is no reason to buy this guitar if Alex Lifeson's name weren't on it. Also he has yet to even play this model on an album or live. At least the Alex Lifeson Les Pauls he played on tour before they were marketed, and those are at least reasonably priced when compared to a stock Les Paul. Seems more like PRS are using Alex to launch an acoustic line which is new territory for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
