[Gibson Custom to Showcase Over 15 New Models at Winter NAMM 2008]

Alex Lifeson has mentioned in some recent interviews that he'd be releasing a signature Gibson ES-355 guitar this year although there had been no official word from Gibson until just recently. Yesterday Gibson Custom announced that it will showcase over 15 models at its exhibit at Winter NAMM 2008 in Anaheim, CA this coming weekend including the Alex Lifeson ES-355 VOS:

Throughout most of Alex Lifeson's ride to superstardom with the super group Rush, a 1976 Gibson ES-355 had been by his side, both in the studio and on stage. With it, he had created many of Rush's breathtaking layered soundscapes, and the very same ES-355 continues to be an indispensable part of his live arsenal. The Gibson Custom Shop Alex Lifeson Signature ES -355 guitar is a recreation of this iconic instrument and a tribute for a true modern master, and guitar he used to expand the definition of popular music.

Thanks to reader Rare Form for the heads up.
