Get on with the Fascination!
Enter stage left, the Lerxst Limelight Alex Lifeson Signature from Godin! Real Rush aficionados will recognize this modern-day HSS 6-string’s homage of sight and sonics, coming well-fashioned and fitted with a trio of Lifeson’s signature Lerxst Limelight pickups for remarkably characterful presence and dependable playability you can count on both within studio walls and out on the lighted stage. Its familiar and widely contoured S-style swamp ash body rests comfortably for standing play and unlimited access to every fret to fulfill both rhythmic and virtuosic duties with conviction. Given a slightly flattened “C” neck profile, its ebony-topped maple neck and fingerboard combo promotes not only a grip that meets the standards of Lerxst himself, but an extremely articulate and well-sustaining playing experience that does too. Finally, pro-performing appointments like 18:1 proprietary Godin tuners, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and an effortlessly expressive Vega Trem bequeath maximum creative freewill for every player who crosses the Lerxst Limelight’s path.
Flawless feel throughout
A guitarist’s initial gauge of axe compatibility begins with a feel that isn’t hindering nor overbearing, and the Lerxst Limelight passes with flying colors. A sturdy yet swingable S-style swamp ash body feels natural over the shoulder with its wide, cozy contouring and large cutaways. Up the neck, a flattened “C” profile poses a shallower, more modern feel with effortless ease of command. Traverse 22 frets atop a flawless ebony fingerboard and give proper attention to every note and chord that calls to you with impeccable natural comfort, sustain, and articulation. From studio tracking and stage performances to the comfort of your living room, the Lerxt Limelight offers a feel that you’ll just never want to hang up.
Signature HSS setup
An HSS assortment of signature Lerxst Limelight pickups guarantees elevation from the sonic norm, infused with a hard-hitting yet impressively musical personality that only Lerxst could claim. First, the bridge humbucker establishes a huge harmonic wash brimming with that legendary tonality that gained so much traction in the early '80s. But when its more midrange or low-end definition you desire, two middle- and neck-position single-coils idle locked and loaded to take over the spotlight with matching authority. To boot, a Lerxst-accurate and cutaway-mounted 3-way selector switch with master Volume and Tone knobs assume control of a number of cross-catalog tones without needless overcomplication — a godsend for performing players!
Primed for passionate playability
The Lerxst Limelight is engineered to follow you onstage with zero compromises when it comes to dependability, and it all starts with stellar hardware adornment. Up at the headstock, this 6-string houses a set of Godin-exclusive 18:1 sealed-back tuning machines, giving you the green light to play with as much passion as the moment demands. While you play, know that a Graph Tech TUSQ nut promotes a completely balanced and even string reaction, free from buzz and ensuring a studio-grade smooth responsiveness. Last but not least, a Vega Tremolo bridge enables exceptionally rock-steady expressiveness to match the energy of every tune, be it sweetly subtle or harrowingly intense.
Certified signature 6-string
Rush fans can rest easy knowing that their Lerxst Limelight will come with the shrine-worthy case candy to eclipse all other axes in their collection! Aside from being one killer axe, the Lerxst Limelight includes an official certificate of authenticity from Godin, certifying its historical significance and a signature spot in their lineup. As a bonus, the first 50 Lerxst Limelight guitars sold in each finish will come autographed by Lerxst himself! But time won't stand still in this case — this isn’t a guarantee for every gearhead. From one Canadian mastermind to another, Godin and Alex Lifeson have put their collective heart and soul into crafting this incredible 6-string — and it’s time to find it a proper home.
