In addition to its traditional Les Paul tonewoods, the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess carries two high-output humbucking pickups with series/parallel options on its push-pull volume controls, and a Floyd Rose unit loaded with GraphTech Ghost piezo bridge saddles.

Here is what the company had to say:
“Access traditional Gibson magnetic humbucker tones, mix it up with fat and funky series/parallel options, tap the Ghost’s acoustic tones, or blend acoustic and magnetic voices. What’s more, you can route it all through a traditional mono jack (labeled ”Regular") using a single guitar cable, or use two cables to split the signal into separate output paths using the “Regular” and the “Life-O-Sound” output jacks together."
