Constructed from a 5-ply Maple/Poplar body in partnership with a 3-piece Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard, this reissue stays true to the ‘70s original, even sporting the famed volute. Featuring a pair of USA-made Gibson T-Type humbuckers, wired together with CTS pots, premium Mallory capacitors, a mono Varitone circuit and Switchcraft switch and output, this semi-hollow electric guitar is built ready for even the most demanding situations. With its Epiphone hardcase and eye-catching aesthetics, the Epiphone Alex Lifeson ES-355 is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a versatile pro-level workhorse that can cover it all from Jazz to blues to rock and prog.

USA-made Gibson T-Type Humbuckers

While maintaining a lot of the same warmth, articulation, dynamics and openness that’s associated with the earlier Gibson PAF humbuckers, these calibrated T-Type humbuckers, based on the famed T-Top Gibson Humbuckers, offer a little more top end with a tighter, more articulate bass response.
