Epiphone EDS-1275 Doubleneck Electric Guitar - Vintage Cherry

The Epiphone EDS-1275 doubleneck electric guitar carries the unmistakable presence of a rock icon, with the tonal range and commanding design that have made it a fixture of ambitious guitar arrangements. Its solid mahogany double-cutaway body supports two set mahogany necks, each with a SlimTaper 60s C profile and bound rosewood fingerboard for a consistent playing feel. Four Epiphone ProBucker pickups capture the shimmering character of the 12-string neck and the punch and articulation of the six-string, while dedicated pickup selectors and a three-way neck switch provide direct control over both voices. For guitarists crafting intricate compositions onstage or building layered arrangements in the studio, the EDS-1275 offers the expressive range, versatility and unmistakable character that have defined its legacy.

A Solid Mahogany Body Built for Two Necks

The EDS-1275 uses a solid mahogany body with a double-cutaway outline and beveled edges that make its doubleneck configuration more comfortable to handle. Both mahogany necks are set into the body to enhance sustain and resonance, supporting ringing chords and singing lead passages. Together, the two necks support arrangements that contrast harmonically rich 12-string textures with the direct attack and melodic focus of a six-string.

Four ProBucker Pickups and Flexible Neck Switching

Each neck carries a ProBucker 2 at the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker 3 at the bridge, for four pickups in total. The 12-string pickups use nickel-plated covers, while the six-string pair is uncovered for the brighter, more assertive character described by Epiphone. Individual pickup-selector switches serve each neck, and a third three-way switch selects the six-string, the 12-string or both simultaneously. A master volume and tone control for each neck, using CTS potentiometers, keeps both voices easy to balance and shape during a performance.

SlimTaper Necks and Bound Rosewood Fingerboards

Both mahogany necks feature Epiphone’s SlimTaper 60s C profile and a 24.75" scale for a familiar reach when moving between chords and lead passages. The bound rosewood fingerboards each have a 12" radius, 20 medium jumbo frets and pearloid split parallelogram inlays. The shared playing dimensions make transitions between the two necks intuitive, while the rosewood fingerboards and decorative inlays bring a traditional finish to this unusually versatile format.

LockTone Bridges and Dependable 18-String Hardware

Separate LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridges provide adjustment for action and intonation on each neck, with claw-style tailpieces securing the strings. Graph Tech nuts and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with keystone buttons help keep the six- and 12-string setups stable and manageable. Nickel hardware, black Speed control knobs and Kalamazoo-style headstocks with mother-of-pearl Epiphone logos complete the instrument’s classic details.

One Iconic Guitar for Expansive Arrangements

The EDS-1275 has long appealed to players who weave bright 12-string textures and powerful six-string parts into the same song. Its dedicated controls and neck-switching layout make that contrast practical in progressive rock, classic rock and more adventurous live arrangements, while an included Epiphone hardshell case protects the complete instrument between sessions. For guitarists whose arrangements move between expansive textures and focused lead voices, the Epiphone EDS-1275 doubleneck makes that contrast an expressive part of the performance.
