The LERXST Limelight LTD electric guitar from Godin Guitars captures the spirit of Alex Lifeson's original Hentor Sportscaster in a thoroughly modern form. Drawing inspiration from the guitar that powered Rush's Moving Pictures album, this LERXST Limelight LTD fuses vintage character with contemporary refinements. Made in Canada, like the legendary prog-rocker himself, this premium instrument, featuring a Floyd Rose bridge, empowers you to explore new sounds, just as the Hentor Sportscaster unlocked fresh creative avenues for Lifeson decades ago.

Lightweight Swamp Ash Body

The LERXST Limelight LTD features a swamp ash body, prized for its balanced resonance across the tonal spectrum. The wood's low density makes this guitar pleasingly lightweight while still transferring string vibration into singing sustain. On stage or in the studio, the swamp ash body provides the ideal tonal foundation.

Combined with the guitar's 22 medium stainless steel frets, the ebony fingerboard enables effortless, precise fingering and bends. The neck profile and 12" radius feel familiar to any electric guitarist.
