Earlier this year, Alex Lifeson partnered up with Canadian guitar manufacturer Godin Guitars to create a new signature guitar called the LERXST Limelight, inspired by Lifeson's iconic Hentor Sportscaster guitars from the mid-80s. As part of the release, American Music Supply did a 40-minute sit down interview with Alex at the Godin factory where he demonstrates the guitar and talks about how it came about (watch on YouTube). They've just released some more footage from Alex's visit, where Alex sits down with Godin's Daniel Fiocco to talk all about how they designed and brought the Lerxst Limelight guitars to life (thanks RushFanForever). You can get all the details and learn how to obtain one of these guitars at LerxstAmps.com.
