The Gibson EDS-1275 is a double neck Gibson electric SG based guitar that was introduced by Gibson in 1963 and produced till 1968. This model was used by musicians such as John McLaughlin and Jimmy Page, and it was called “the coolest guitar in rock” at the time they played these models. This model guitar was initially available in jet black, cherry, sunburst, and white.
In 1974, Gibson started making the guitar again, and in more finishes with production lasting until 1998. Since then, alpine white and heritage cherry versions were made by Gibson USA. Since then, alpine white and heritage cherry versions were made by Gibson USA in Nashville, Tennessee, until 2003, in the Nashville Custom Shop from 2004 to 2005, and in the Memphis, Tennessee, Custom Shop since 2006.
So here we have a 1992 EDS-1275 in Cherry Red with the typical 12 string neck and a standard 6-string neck SG. The guitar handles surprisingly well and is easy to play. The strap button is fitted behind the upper body at the base of the neck allowing easy playing while standing up.
The toggle switch on the lower horn selects the “neck” either 6 or 12-string, the switch in the middle controls the pick up selection of either model. Further the 2-volume/2-tone arrangement control tone and volume.
