The Gibson EDS 1275 Double Neck Electric Guitar is the original model and set up that was so iconic in the early 70s. It's totally handmade in Nashville and quantities are extremely limited. Two solid maple necks are set on a surprisingly lightweight, mahogany body. Each features 490R/498T Alnico II humbuckers and 20 fret rosewood fingerboards with inlays. Tune-O-Matic bridge and vintage tuners along with 3-way selector switches on both necks allow you to create a range of sounds that are literally out of this world. Includes a custom Gibson hardshell case.
I have owned this for over six months now. I have been playing guitar for nearly 40 years now and have wanted this guitar since I first saw it in the 1966 Gibson catalog. I was well worth the wait! This guitar has the finest playing and sounding 12 string neck I have ever experienced (and I have owned or played them all - including a 1966 Firebird XII). Everyone who sees this literally draws a breath and goes WOW! The only issues with mine are perhaps picky: The red polish compound from the factory was not completely cleaned in several areas (common Gibson: you can do better). The six string is also great! The overtones you can get by playing on a different neck while having the opposite switched on is something to be explored and used...really urethral sounding. This guitar played through a Marshal stack is just what you'd imagine: HUGE! It also resonds well through a small combo like a Fender Deluxe and even a POD. If you are wanting to take your playing and preformance to a different lever, then buy this now while they are still somewhat affordable. I am amazed that these are not over 5 grand yet. They are worth every penny!

I played this amazing piece of Rock'n'Roll history on one of my trips to Guitar Center. I'd seen it before, but never even thought to pick it up. But this time was different. I tried it out without even hooking up to an amp, and was still amazed. Some say it is heavy. Comon yall, toughin up a bit. It's not heavy at all. I think that it is a privelage just to look at it. If I had the money, you could bet that before anything else I would buy this undoubfully great masterpiece.

The Gibson EDS-1275 is quite a remarkable guitar, indeed I was amazed at how much it DID NOT weigh. Anyone who is looking for a guitar to satisfy their lust for Rock 'n' Roll need look no further, this one has it all: great tone, sustain, playability, power,and an endless spectrum of unique sounds. Few can withstand the awesome force of an EDS-1275 when plugged into a good amplifier. If you had this guitar (plus an extra set of arms to play both necks at once), you would be set for life.

I love this guitar. I don't own it but I have used it. I played some of Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California. If you enjoy music like that then you will fall in love with this guitar. The 12 string sounds amazing. This is the guitar that Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin used, so it is also somewhat of a collectors item. This guitar really catches peoples eyes because of its finish. The paint job is really nice looking. The only downside is the price but it is well worth it for the Gibson quality that you get with this guitar.

First thigs first, the guitar is heavy. everyone knows that and anyone who buys it knows that and doesnt care. like me. i want this guitar even if it sounded terrible and weighed more than i do. seeing this guitar on the led zepplein DVD is what made me want to pick up playing guitar. this guitar may be a little expensive, but its way better then the epiphone version. the sound is great and the wieght is bearable. not to mention this guitar is beautiful. its futuristic and classic at the same time. its inspirational. rock and roll is about being different and this guitar is just that. and its like 2 guiatrs in one...you cnat buy ANY two gibson custom shop guitars for $3000 , i mean, most of the single neck ones are over 4 grand on their own. this guitar is a steal compared to other high end gibsons and gibson cutomshops. i am currently saving up to buy this. its the best!
