Description

The Godin Lerxst Limelight LTD electric guitar brings back the spirit of Alex Lifeson's legendary '80s Hentor Sportscaster in a thoroughly modern form. Developed in partnership with the pioneering Rush guitarist and made in Canada, like the iconic band itself, the Lerxst Limelight LTD offers the distinctive tone and playing feel that defined a generation of progressive rock. At the same time, it incorporates cutting-edge engineering and premium components to meet the needs of today's guitarists.

Godin LERXST Limelight With Vega Tremolo Electric Guitar Swamp Ash Body

Resonant Swamp Ash Body

The Lerxst Limelight LTD features a swamp ash body, just like the original Sportscaster. The lightweight ash delivers vibrant acoustic resonance with singing sustain. Its grain patterns and hues evoke vintage mojo. Plugged in, the swamp ash body produces rich, complex overtones that interact beautifully with distortion. This iconic body wood choice delivers the harmonically rich sounds that have defined Alex Lifeson's tone.

Godin LERXST Limelight With Vega Tremolo Electric Guitar Neck

Slim Neck Profile and Ebony Fingerboard

The Lerxst Limelight LTD has a slim, fast neck profile with a 12" fingerboard radius designed for speed and comfort. It allows effortless access to the higher frets thanks to the neck's hand-rubbed finish and contoured heel. The ebony fingerboard further enhances playability with its smooth feel and medium stainless steel frets. Together, these modern specifications make the Lerxst Limelight LTD feel familiar to electric guitarists right out of the case.

Godin LERXST Limelight With Vega Tremolo Electric Guitar Custom Pickups

Custom Lerxst Pickups

At the heart of the Lerxst Limelight LTD are custom-designed Lerxst humbucker and single-coil pickups. With an Alnico 5 magnet, these pickups capture the original Hentor tones, from shimmering cleans to saturated distortion. The humbucker in the bridge position has just enough bite when overdriven, while the neck and middle single coils sing with articulation. Switching between pickup combinations unlocks a diverse palette of tones.

Godin LERXST Limelight With Vega Tremolo Electric Guitar Vega Tremolo Bridge

Vega Tremolo Bridge

The Lerxst Limelight LTD is equipped with a Vega tremolo bridge for expressive, fluttering pitch effects. The low-friction bridge allows effortless tremolo arm movement without compromising tuning stability. Guitarists can add vibrato, warbling textures, dive bombs and other unique sounds not possible with a fixed bridge. Complemented by a Graph Tech nut and 18:1 staggered locking keys, the Vega tremolo unlocks the Lerxst Limelight LTD's full sonic potential.

With premium features and modern refinements, the Lerxst Limelight LTD electric guitar brings Alex Lifeson's legendary tone closer to the heart of your tonal desires. Its versatile sound empowers creativity across genres. Order online or come to your local Guitar Center to try out the Lerxst Limelight LTD.
