The Guide to Double Neck Guitar Prices and Some Really Cool Doubleneck Guitars…
Review:
The Gibson EDS 1275
Ever since I saw Jimmy Page play “Stairway to Heaven” on “The Song Remains the Same” on his Gibson EDS 1275 doubleneck guitar, I have wanted one of these. Just thinking of all the sounds I could get from having both a 12 string and 6 string built into one electric guitar gets me excited.
Then I saw Alex Lifeson of Rush Playing a white one and man, was that a cool looking instrument…
Anways, the Gibsons are just out of my price range but they also have a cheaper model, the Epiphone G1275, which is basically the same instrument, just not made in the USA.

i wish they were cheaper
The Dean “Dave Mustaine USA” Double-Neck guitar is a really awesome piece of craftsmanship. Dean hand builds all of their USA Models which is why I like Dean over most of the other USA made companies. You get a “Boutique”quality guitar at an off the rack price. This Double-Neck Mustaine model is a bit pricey though for anyone, retailing for around $9000.00 but the street price is a cool $6000.00. Try checking with a few Dean”USA” dealers that have clinics and workshops because often they will have a few models that have been used for an hour or so while being played during the “Clinic” and that will ALWAYS drop the price by about 30% or more and the guitar is just like new.
how much are the gibson?

Believe when I say that just because the Agile Double Neck is so cheap doesn’t mean it doesn’t kick ass. The Quality of the Gibson’s is only slightly better than it.
Gotta say I agree — I have a white agile double neck lefty and it feels great
sounds fantastic on both 12 or 6 strings. I used to have an SG but had to sell
it — this one can cover what I miss from an SG enough that I don’t need to get
another one some day…only 20 frets but as an upside down strat player, I have
to work for those notes anyway so I rarely play that high.
