Extremely Rare Gibson Custom Shop Don Felder #6 "Hotel California" Doubleneck (One Of 50 Signed & Played By Don Felder). Includes original Hard Shell Custom Shop Case. #6 hand signed by Don Felder on the back of the 12-String Headstock! Gibson Custom Don Felder Signed Hotel California EDS-1275 Double Neck in a Timeless Aged White Finish! The instrument is crafted in the image of Gibson’s iconic EDS-1275 Double 12 model, only around 110 of which were produced between 1962-’68, demanding a reissue in 1977, when Felder acquired his example. The Don Felder Double Neck carries all the classic appointments of the era, including four great Gibson PAF-style humbucking pickups (two per neck) on a resonant solid-mahogany body. In addition, however, the guitar also includes custom wiring and modifications that Felder added to his own EDS-1275 to help it suit his live performance needs. All are aged to accurately reflect the look of Felder’s own Gibson Double Neck. Comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Hotel California has been frequently named in polls for the “world’s greatest guitar solos”, and listed at #49 in Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”, Don Felder and Joe Walsh’s dual guitar solo on the Eagles’ “Hotel California” tapped a searing tone and an atmospheric vibe that still resonate today. To give live renditions their maximum impact, Don Felder has”right from the start”played the hit song on a Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck, performing the haunting 12-string introduction on the guitar’s top neck (routed through a Leslie rotating speaker unit) and switching to the lower 6-string neck for the epic soloing duel with Joe Walsh. This is a very limited edition, ONLY 50 of these iconic instruments were made and this one happens to be #6. Don Felder has stated that the first 5 went to his family members, so this is a rare opportunity for collectors. The original is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
