Alex Lifeson played a Howard Roberts Fusion on the "Exit Stage Left" video during the song "Tom Sawyer" and ever since seeing that video, I knew that someday I would want one. I have been a life-long fan of the band RUSH and a few years ago, walked into Buffalo Brothers Guitar Shop in Carlsbad, California, and saw a Howard Roberts Fusion for sale. I played this beauty and what tone poured forth! I picked it up and have kept it in my smoke-free, super-clean home studio ever since. I have not played out with it - no clubs or gigs. I do love the tone and quality of this gem but I (sadly) no longer have the time to give this beauty the attention she really needs. This is indeed a rare guitar; a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own such a classic, well-made instrument. I tried to capture everything in the photos (pardon any reflection of me during the photo snaps). I hope this amazing instrument finds a happy home where it will bring your musical dreams to life. Thank you for looking. I am going to pay the shipping charges. Hardshell case in the photos is included - this is not the original case from Gibson. This is NOT the guitar Alex played in the video - it's the same model, but not the one he personally owns.The howard roberts fusion was introduced in 1979. The guitar had a 14 and 7/8" semi hollow body, deep cutaway shape very similar to the Gibson Les Paul solid body models, 2 humbucking pickups, chrome hardware, tp-6 tailpiece, bound back and top, and ebony fingerboard.
