Invisible To Telescopic Eye Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The sportscaster...for it's uniqueness and fame among fans, but it's not my favorite....I souldn't tell ya which one is my fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtothesky Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'll take any of his Les Paul customs. As for any artists guitar, I would choose Jimi Hendrix's infamous black beauty strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Had you asked me before S&A I would have said the 355 but now I may go with the Les Paul he used for most of the S&A show. It has the prettiest inlay I've seen on a Standard as well as a beautiful top. Next in line would be the 1275. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean this one? http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/SAAlex9.jpg I'd choose the white 355 or this one ^^ Edited February 9, 2012 by HowItIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignatureAurora75 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww289/shepwhite2112/may1990.jpg Here's the one I would take. His Signature Visionary. I like all of Rush and all of Alex's guitars, but can you tell I was a teenager in the 80's? I'm really stuck there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post a picture with the guitar and inlay you speak of! http://metaluniverse.net/compterendu/data/media/338/3H2Y6208_copy.jpg This one. Not an Axcess but a Standard with a Floyd on it. Neck joint is standard. It had been referred to as a prototype. Before the Axcesses were released and has a nicer top and inlay than the AL Axcess he played on Time Machine. I think this one is now detuned for 2112 (Time Machine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignatureAurora75 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Those are gorgeous inlays indeed. Can someone tell me the difference on why they look so good? Those don't look anything like the inlays on my AL Les Paul. Is that Abalone or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
