Custom Instruments and Equipment
Alex, Geddy, and Neil over the years have helped design instruments and other equipment for sale by manufacturers under their signature design lines. Here’s what’s available today:
Alex’s Les Paul Axcess Gibson
Neck heel and portions of the back at the upper cutaway contoured to provide unimpeded reach up to the 22nd fret. Floyd Rose tailpiece, optimized for subtle vibrato wobbles to dramatic, rumbling dive-bombs. Exposed-coil 496R and 498T pickups in neck and bridge yield tonal opportunities, from ultra crunch to driving leads.
Geddy’s Fender Jazz bass
Replica of Geddy’s bass on “Tom Sawyer,” “Vital Signs,” “Witch Hunt,” and “Limelight” from Moving Pictures.
$7,600 for limited edition replica
Alex’s Lerxst Omega Amp and Speaker Cabinet
More in “The Lerxst Amp: Slaying and Melting Faces”
Neil’s Shira Kashi Oak Drum Sticks

Lerxst Omega Walk-up Guitar Performer Stand
Designed by Alex years ago to enable walk-up playing, but apparently unavailable for sale.
However, other walk-up performer stands are available from K&M, among other companies. On Sweetwater, the music instrument and audio store, the K&M stand retails for $299.99. K&M also makes a walk-up stand for electric guitars.
Alex has another signature Custom Shop Gibson, It’s the white ES-355, limited edition, only 300 made.

under Geddy’s bass you listed Limelight being from Permanent Waves album. It’s not. It’s from Moving Pictures also. Geddy also uses this bass when playing live.

Maryland-made PRS Guitars has released a Lifeson-inspired acoustic guitar. Their electrics were his go-to instrument in the 90’s. http://www.prsguitars.com/acoustics/se/se_alex_lifeson_signature_acoustic_2017
