$15,000 for that PRS acoustic. I don't know if that's USD or not, but no matter what, that's not cheap.

Yeah, I'm getting some serious guitar envy right now. Hopefully I'll take it up again and get one at least one-fifth as nice as those.

I think the radiation there is making Alex's hands larger. His bald spot has filled in, too....crazy.

Does this mean I have to wait another 7 years for my bald spot to fill in?....

I saw this posted on Facebook yesterday. Nice video. Been to their website quite a few times to drool over the cool guitars and basses Japan gets that we don't.

I'm amazed at how warm and polite Alex seems. He seems easy to strike up a conversation with :)

AG, this is nothing more than a "coincidental" marketing opportunity for his guitar series, and, secondarily, for himself and Rush. Alex is in stealthy Ninja mode here. Edited April 24, 2014 by GeminiRising79

And what's wrong with that? They're not supposed to make money? It would be awesome to have a signature guitar.

Nothing wrong with making money unless u r duping ppl into believing the video is just another innocent and spontaneous moment- which clearly it isn't.

I would be more inclined to think it's the Ishibashi shop rather than Alex himself. They're the ones with the guitars for sale.

The shop certainly benefits from the exposure. They're just happy to be associated with his advertisement. There has to be a pretty darn good reason for Alex to burn a couple hours in a guitar shop in an amazing city such as Tokyo.

I know! Why would someone like Alex go to a guitar shop in Tokyo. It's a confounding conundrum! So weird. I mean, really. If someone has a plausable explanation, please share.

 

Uh, so confusing. :fuckinputer:

No the confusing conundrum is why on earth would Gemini be suspect of a humble quiet little canadian like Alex Lifeson .. When the world is full of rock and roll attention whores!

Alex is certainly above the majority of rock guitarists in personality/demeanor. I'm just uncomfortable seeing him engaging in something overtly deceptive. Of course they're all in full profit mode, but no need to be duplicitous. Just my opinion.

Cynics...

 

Thanks for the video link. That was fun to watch. :cheers:

Just saw it off the mailing list. What a nice surprise for an Australian Rush fan who will never get to see them live. But yeah, that's some serious dosh.
