Trying to figure out what this yellow double cutaway was over Alex Lifeson's right shoulder when he appeared on the Shred with Shifty podcast (which is awesome, by the way).

Maybe some kind of Gibson based on the fretboard inlays?

Looks like an older Yamaha Revstar. First generation? Here's a similar model to that one in a burst finish:

Yeah, the body looks very similar. The knob and selector is throwing me off, though.

Ah, here's one with a similar bridge: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1209232-REG/yamaha_rs420_ftb_revstar_rs420_factory_blue.html

I'm wondering if the extra knobs are actually just pixelated reflections. I'm very sure that's a Revstar. They're great guitars, I recommend trying one out if you have the opportunity.

Could also be something that he added as well. Thanks for the info, I will keep an eye out for one in the real world!

Yeah, the bridge doesn't match either.
