Multi-ply binding around the top and back gives it an elegant look befitting the top-of-the-line ES-355. A solid maple centerblock adds sustain and greatly increases feedback resistance, delivering the versatile tone that ES™ models are famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is crafted from three pieces of maple, and like the 70s-era model, features a volute for added strength at the neck\/headstock joint. Its Slim C profile is fast and easy to play, while the ebony fretboard adds a touch of brightness to the tone and enhances the exceptionally smooth playing feel. The fretboard features mother-of-pearl large block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Gibson-style “open book” headstock features high-quality die-cast tuners with keystone buttons and a Graph Tech® nut, ensuring stable tuning. The multi-ply bound headstock is adorned with the Epiphone logo and Custom split diamond, both inlaid in mother of pearl to complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. For a personalized touch, the truss rod cover is engraved with Alex Lifeson’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold hardware, including a harmonica-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and pickup covers, further adds to its refined, elegant appearance, while a gold Maestro™ Vibrola™ delivers enhanced expressiveness with the push or pull of the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifeson’s tone is faithfully recreated courtesy of two USA-made Gibson T-Type humbucker™ pickups, each paired with individual volume and tone controls with CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ tone capacitors and selected with a Switchcraft® three-way toggle switch. A mono Varitone switch provides additional tonal options, while a mini toggle switch allows it to be preset and bypassed\/engaged at will. A Switchcraft 1\/4” output jack completes the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 is crafted for players who want to explore, evolve, and push the boundaries of what’s possible, just as Alex does.
