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.
