Alex Lifeson s Hentor Sportscaster

[RSRD]

This is one of the coolest things. Alex's guitar Tech borrowed the Hentor with Alexs blessing and broke it down in order to re create it from scratch. Check out the video. When he played the opening line to limelight it gave me goosebumps. If I had $3k to spend this would be the first thing I'd buy. Damn you GAS.

I agree if I had the extra cash I would take one too.

Here is a thread about the build from a Rush forum:

It has some cool info and pics if you are a Lifeson guy like me.

Kind of cool, but it's a parts guitar to begin with. Buy some parts from Warmoth or wherever and get one made for 1/2 the price.

Sorry but that's not even close to the same thing unless uou are a luthier yourself and can get access to the hentor caster to break it down. We can all make partocasters but we all aren't Alex lifeson who put this thing together with specific needs and then used it to record some incredible tones!

Just my opinion of course.

Alex Lifeson is one of my influence so I find this very cool.

Looks like Freddys orders are full for the second batch. That could be the end of them. BUT ...i bet if you really wanted one you could bend his ear and save a spot if there was a 3rd run.
