Reintroduced to the Gibson catalogue in 1974 due in no small part to rock excesses of the late 60s and early 70s, the EDS 1275 went through some changes. Out was the long 12 string headstock and the mahogany necks in favor of three piece maple and a large volute for added strength. In where a wider variety of colours. Our example here is in classic 70’s walnut.
The guitar is in great condition. As you expect there is some checking and some dings and knocks but nothing too substantial. Importantly though there are no signs of any breaks or repairs.
Both necks are in great shape with some sign of use but plenty of life left in the frets. No changed tuners and both headstocks are in great shape.
Plastics are in good condition as is the hardware which only shows some minor tarnishing.
Electrically everything looks correct with solder joints left undisturbed. All four T top humbuckers do not look to have been disturbed either which is rare as a lot of these were 'upgraded'.
The guitar comes with its correct hardshell case which in itself is a rare find.
A statement guitar if ever there was one, this guitar sounds as good as it looks. The twelve string sounds clear, chiming like a bell whilst the 6 string can be coaxed into classic SG territory.
Another great guitar with a cool story. Sometimes a twin neck is what's needed.
