Epiphone Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue Alpine White

Progressive-Rock Icon With Refined Semi-Hollow Dynamics!

The Epiphone Alex Lifeson 1976 ES-355 Reissue delivers the distinctive tone, premium playing feel and expressive versatility of a legendary signature electric in a professional instrument built for stage, studio and ambitious songwriting.

ES-355 Construction With Resonant Depth

The five-ply semi-hollowbody of maple and poplar marries acoustic openness with a focused electric response. A solid maple center block enhances sustain, stabilizes the tone and significantly reduces unwanted feedback. That gives you a guitar that handles wide chordal passages and singing leads with control and musicality. The multi-ply binding on the top and back underscores the elevated ES character and gives the instrument a classic, detailed look.

Fast Neck and Refined Fretboard

The three-piece maple neck follows the construction of classic '70s instruments and features a volute for extra stability at the headstock transition. The Slim C profile sits comfortably in the hand and supports fluid position changes, precise bends and long playing sessions. The ebony fretboard provides direct response, clear articulation and a premium playing feel. Large block inlays, 22 medium-jumbo frets and a 12" fretboard radius offer a familiar, modern platform for chords, solo lines and expressive techniques.

Gibson T-Type Humbuckers and Flexible Tone Shaping

Two USA-made Gibson T-Type humbuckers supply the characteristic core sound of this signature guitar: transparent, powerful and open enough for dynamic nuance. The neck pickup produces warm, sustaining tones for singing melodies and full chords, while the bridge pickup delivers more bite, definition and cutting power. With two volume and two tone controls, CTS potentiometers, Mallory capacitors and a Switchcraft 3-way switch, the tone can be finely dialed in. Additionally, a mono-Varitone circuit expands the sonic palette, while a mini-toggle lets you engage or bypass that circuit directly.

Expressive Hardware for Stage and Studio

The gold-colored hardware pairs a Harmonica Tune-O-Matic bridge with a Maestro Vibrola tailpiece. That gives you stable intonation, classic sustain and the option to add subtle pitch shimmer or more pronounced modulation. Die-cast tuners, a GraphTech nut and high-quality switch and jack components support reliable tuning stability and practical performance. The included hardshell case with a rugged exterior, red interior lining and gold-colored hardware protects the instrument during transport and completes the premium presentation.
