The Essentials to Know About the Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Double Neck VOS ?69 Cherry Guitar
- Faithful reissue of Jimmy Page?s 1969 EDS?1275, crafted from 3D scans of the original.
- One-piece mahogany double cutaway body and two long-tenon mahogany necks for full access.
- Four Jimmy Page Custombucker Alnico 5 humbuckers for a powerful, defined, and authentically ?seventies? tone.

A Rock Icon, Recreated by Gibson Custom
Emblematic of Led Zeppelin?s concerts, the EDS?1275 allowed Jimmy Page to seamlessly switch live between 6- and 12-string parts on ?Stairway to Heaven,? ?The Song Remains the Same,? and ?The Rain Song.? This Gibson Custom version replicates the exact dimensions of the 1969 instrument, down to the VOS nitro finish and the specific headstock logo, to offer the closest possible experience to the original.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Designed for advanced guitarists, professionals, studio players, and collectors, this double neck excels in classic rock, hard rock, orchestrated folk, and layered arrangements. The instant switch from the 12-string neck to the 6-string opens unique stage possibilities, from crystalline arpeggios to massive riffs, without changing instruments.
The Sound
The mahogany/rosewood combination and the short 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale length provide warmth, dense mids, and extended sustain. The Alnico 5 Custombuckers deliver a firm attack, tight lows, and singing highs: on the 6-string, the uncovered ?Double Black? dual coils offer more bite and dynamics; on the 12-string, the covered pair provides a softer, slightly compressed veil, ideal for harmonic layers. Hand-wired (CTS potentiometers and ceramic capacitors) circuitry delivers a vintage response, while the 3-position pickup selector, neck selector, and ABR?1 bridge contribute to precise projection and rare versatility for a double neck.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Nickel string sets 10?46 for the 6-string neck, consistent with original gauges.
- Light 12-string set (high E .010) for the 12-string neck, to preserve tension/sustain balance.
- Wide leather strap (7?9 cm) compatible with both strap buttons, for better stage comfort.
- Microfiber cloth and nitro-compatible care products to preserve the VOS finish.
