I know the white 355 is the trademark Alex guitar and I'd love to have it, but given the choice I think I'd go with this one. The one I'd want as well.

Anyone know? That one was the most intriguing to me since it said he used it in the studio for 'La Villa' and 'The Trees' (and in some of the music videos back then). I'm not a guitar player either, but the thought of being in the same room with that guitar kind of blows my mind. PS - I wonder which guitar he recorded 'Closer to the Heart' on? From the descriptions, it doesn't sound like it's any of these. I wonder if he still has that guitar synth from 'Hemispheres' too. Perhaps the Ramirez did not meet its reserve. The '76 Gibson Dove was used in the studio for 'Closer to the Heart', as well as a Gibson B-45 12-string. Here's a link to the auctioned Dove: RUSH: ALEX LIFESON CLOSER TO THE HEART STUDIO AND STAGE PLAYED 1976 GIBSON DOVE ACOUSTIC GUITAR (WITH UK WORK PERMIT AND TOUR BOOK) WITH NFT (julienslive.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t recommend the purchase of this book strongly enough. It is a prized addition to my collection, and well-worth the money. Anybody who considers himself or herself to be a real Rush fan needs to have this. How many copies of the signed editions were printed? I have no problem settling for one unsigned but a signed copy might be nice. Edited May 22, 2022 by ytserush typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12-string is the one I'm curious about - that's not in the auction right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I wonder if Jim Irsay bought one of Al's guitars to add to his already stunning collection? http://guitar.com/features/collections/the-greatest-guitar-collection-on-earth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I kind of like the Auction Catalog as a companion to the Big Beautiful Book of Bass. They aren't exactly the same thing.... but it's all good enough. Now we just need something on Neil's drums. Maybe one day.

Looked into this a little bit and it appears that there were 100 signed copies available on the backstage club. and the rest are unsigned. Must not have seen the "signed" part of the announcement at the time and decided to hold off on buying one but who knows how quickly they sold out.
