Alex Lifeson has always sworn by the modernized design of the Les Paul Axcess. Completely designed with ergonomics in mind, the Paula combines classic Les Paul features with a slim neck heel for accessibility to the highest fretboard positions and features an additional stabilizing flute at the junction with the headstock. The classic LP recipe, on the other hand, is followed by the solid mahogany body with a likewise solid maple top and additional AAA-quality curly maple veneer.
