Two guitars in one ? a must-have convenience onstage





With the EDS-1275 Doubleneck, you get two guitars in one. Its upper neck offers true 12-string performance ? all the jangle and tone you can handle. Its lower neck is a standard Gibson 6-string, straightforward and great-sounding. Best of all, both necks can be activated at the same time, enabling you to achieve spaced-out sounds with sympathetic vibrations (amongst countless other sonic textures).

CustomBucker pickups deliver vintage PAF tone





Gibson paid just as much attention to this guitar's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Every part of its internal signal path was designed to deliver dead-on vintage tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the Gibson Custom EDS-1275 Doubleneck sports four unpotted CustomBucker humbuckers. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever. Take it from Sweetwater's guitar experts: This instrument nails the original look, sound, and feel of a vintage Gibson EDS-1275 Doubleneck.





A spot-on replica of a legendary instrument





When they designed the EDS-1275 Doubleneck, the folks at Gibson Custom didn’t hold back ? it’s an exact re-creation, from its 1-piece solid mahogany body to its Slim C-shaped neck. Its Indian rosewood fingerboards boast 20 frets, celluloid split-parallelogram inlays, a 1.69-inch nut width, and a 24.75-inch scale, along with ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridges and nickel tailpieces.
