zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Take the stage like Jimmy Page with this Doubleneck Guitar, used most famously on "Stairway to Heaven." It features both a 12-string neck and a 6-string neck.

Originally introduced as a hollowbody doubleneck model in 1958, the EDS-1275 assumed its more familiar SG-style body shape in 1962. Always one of Gibson's more esoteric models, the 1275 got its moment in the sun when Jimmy Page began using it for live performances of the Led Zeppelin classic "Stairway to Heaven." Thirty years later, Page is still the artist most closely associated with this model.

(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It has every thing that I could ever want in a guitar.
Sound
It really brings out that gibson sound that most people love. All the equipment i use is just a cable and any kind of marshall amp.
Features
The double neck feature helps because it allows you to play many songs on one guitar that normally you need to own multiple guitars for.
Quality
No errors with the making. And as with all gibson guitars it is made with high quality.
Value
It is easily worth the price
Manufacturer Support
I have had no need to contact gibson about their product. But i do know that they are easy to reach. I have found no need what-so-ever to upgrade this guitar so i have not tried.
The Wow Factor
Every one i know loves this guitar. Whenever i have this guitar they beg me to be able to play it. They worship it like a god.
