About This Listing

I am offering a Gibson EDS-1275 from 1992, the legendary double-neck SG model handmade in Nashville, Tennessee (USA), with a solid mahogany body, two set mahogany necks with 1960s style "C" neck profiles, bound rosewood fingerboards with elaborate split parallelogram pearl inlays, two super-hot HH pickup sets each consisting of a Gibson 490R humbucker at the neck and a Gibson 498T humbucker at the bridge, high-quality Gibson Deluxe Vintage Gold tuners with keystone buttons and two Gibson Nashville Tune-o-Matic bridges with claw tailpieces in a beautifully radiant Alpine White nitrocellulose finish with shiny gold hardware and black pickguards in an absolutely mint collector's condition (NOS!) including original brown Gibson luxury hardshell case and professional setup with Elixir strings.


"The coolest guitar in rock 'n' roll." Period.

Don Felder, Jimmy Page, Slash - this guitar shaped rock music history like no other. The Doubleneck SG inspires by combining a 12-string guitar neck with a 6-string guitar neck on one guitar - the spectacular look and unique sound has become immortal on legendary recordings such as "Hotel California" (Eagles), "Stairway to Heaven" (Led Zeppelin) or "Mama I'm Comming Home" (Ozzy Osbourne) and the instrument continues to inspire numerous musicians around the world to this day!


This Gibson EDS-1275, made in Nashville in 1992, combines all the features that have made the guitar what it is today: extremely precise workmanship, a completely solid mahogany body with two set mahogany necks for ultimate sustain, four warm-powerful 490R/498T humbucker pickups, fat split parallelogram pearl inlays in the bound rosewood fingerboard and a beautifully preserved Alpine White high-gloss nitro finish. Topped off with fine gold hardware, it's one of the most spectacular looking SG models Gibson has ever made.

The sound of the EDS-1275 has a dynamic range that is simply a joy to play. A 3-way switch can be used to select which neck is active, and a 3-way pickup selector switch controls the active pick configuration, with two volume and two tone controls to fine-tune the output signal. The resulting variety of tones in combination with the two different necks results in a veritable firework of playing and sound options from clean to rock to blues!

A sound example of the model can be found at the end of the photo gallery.

In terms of playing technique, the two rather slimmer "C" neck profiles in '60s style, Rosewood fingerboards with 20 frets neatly bound in cream-white bindings and the double cutaway ensure pleasantly smooth playability right up to the highest registers.

This guitar is in mint collector's condition (practically NOS!) and technically flawless. Also visually without any signs of wear whatsoever and even the original foils are still excellently preserved on the pickguards (see pictures). The frets are like new.

I have set up the guitar complete with new 10-gauge Elixir Nanoweb strings (I have been a guitar teacher for many years) and will ship fully insured for 69.99€ within Germany or for 149.99€ within the EU. Shipping outside the EU possible - individual shipping costs on request.

Please check all photos & clarify questions before buying. Thank you! :)
