Julien's Auctions will be holding their annual Music Icons auction online and live at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City later this month on May 30-31. One of the items up for bidding will be a unique, 2016 guitar from Alex Lifeson's collection. The guitar is a 2016 Harper Marilyn Lifeson Custom built electric guitar in a metallic blue finish custom built for Lifeson as a gift from percussionist Andres Forero. From Alex Lifeson:
"This beautiful 2016 Harper Marilyn Lifeson Custom Guitar was commissioned by my dear friend, Andre Ferraro, an awesome drummer. This guitar is so beautiful. It's just absolutely stunning. The Rush related detailing is out of this world and honestly any Rush fan would just go crazy for this. The guitar is beautiful, it sounds amazing, it plays beautifully, the neck is a slender neck and just a joy to play. This guitar truly is a one off: just amazing."
