The Gibson-EDS-1275 double-neck guitar has allowed guitarists to switch between a six-string to a twelve string guitar without even changing their instruments.

When you see a Gibson-EDS-1275, it may seem familiar because it is also the one used by Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist Jimmy Page when he played the song "Stairway to Heaven." This guitar model allowed him to play the whole song without pausing to change guitars.

Today, Gibson has re-launched the well famed double-neck guitar. It still bears the classic look but it is improved with the aid of today's modern guitar manufacturing technology.

Initially, the EDS-1275 Double neck was introduced as a hollow body guitar way back in 1958. And up to this day, this timeless classic is still a sought-after item nowadays. Even if Jimmy Page is the one who popularized it, you can embark on your own rock journey and make your own history!

This guitar is made by hand in Nashville and the two necks are made of solid-maple, both attached to a classic SG body made of solid mahogany wood for that unique and solid tone. These are made to match the classic Gibson 1960s super slim taper neck, the one Jimmy Page fell in love with.

The fingerboards are made out of rosewood, both necks have 20 frets. The fretboard is decorated with a Pearloid tilt diamond pattern inlay and a single ply binding that gives the guitar a more classic look and feel.

This double neck has two PAF type pickups: a 490 Alnico humbucker pickup installed for the bridge pickup and a 498 humbucker pickup installed for the neck pickup. This setting is applied on both the six string and the twelve strings.

The SG EDS-1275 Double Neck Guitar features genuine tune-o-matic bridges in addition to vintage tuners and three-way selector switches installed to both guitars. Both the 6-string and the 12-string guitars have their own separate volume controls.

The guitar comes with a genuine certificate of authenticity, a customer care kit and a Gibson Custom Hardshell Case.

The EDS-1275 Jimmy Page used has a slight difference in terms of body shape compared to the present model. Over the years, the shape of the guitar body was changed. Unlike the current 3-piece maple setup, the one Jimmy Page used uses a one piece mahogany bi-neck setup. Its tailpieces are situated close to the guitar body's base and the PAF humbucker pickups.

Just recently, Gibson has released the Jimmy Page Signature model of the EDS-1275 double neck guitar.

It has an additional feature that fixes the main flaw of the EDS-1275.

The EDS-1275 was nicknamed as "The Aerial" because it known to pick up radio interferences.

Jimmy Page's EDS-1275 double neck guitar has a ground connection that is installed between the 6-string tailpiece and the jack; this is added to eliminate or reduce any unwanted humming sounds due to interferences.

Follow the steps left by Jimmy Page or simply create your own stairway to heaven with the EDS-1275 Double neck guitar.

Gibson J-185 Custom Quilted Maple with Vine Inlay Acoustic Guitar VS $3699 In addition to the great features of all Gibson J-185 models, this special edition features a custom rose vine fingerboard inlay and quilted maple back & sides. The first Gibson J-185 was introduced in 1951, giving players a broader choice of flat-top acoustic guitars. It quickly became a hit. With a slightly smaller body than Gibson's fabled Super Jumbos, the J-185 offers an excellent alternative for players seeking a smaller body style without sacrificing acoustic power and projection. Traditionally, the J-185 features a body length of 20-1/4", a width of 16", and a body depth of 4-7/8", producing an big sound with clear acoustics, making it equally impressive for powerful strumming or delicate fingerpicking, and everything in between. Nickel Grover Rotomatic Tuners Grover's original Rotomatic tuners are an engineering marvel, with style and performance exactly suited for the J-185. With a gear ratio of 14:1, the Rotomatics deliver precision tuning in a durable housing that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. All moving parts are cut for exact meshing, eliminating the possibility of slippage. A countersunk tension screw lets players regulate the tuning tension to any degree. A special lubricant inside the gear box provides smooth and accurate tuning stability. Crown Peghead Logo Gibson put the first crown peghead logo on an ES-300 back in 1940, and it has graced the headstocks of many legendary Gibson guitars ever since, including today's J-185. Over the years, it has also been called a "thistle" because of the group of flowering plants with the sharp prickles, though Gibson has preferred to call it a "crown." Pickguard The tortoise pickguard for the J-185 is Gibson's standard 1950s-style Jumbo shape. As with all of Gibson Acoustic's pickguards, the coloring, inlay, and binding are all crafted by hand. Rosette A rosette is the beautiful, hand-crafted circle around the soundhole, and can be one of the most ornamental elements of any acoustic guitar. It is also one of the most subtle and complicated woodworking decorations on any acoustic guitar. The rosette on the J-185 is a double-ring rosette, with the main ring consisting of seven-ply binding, and the second ring three-ply binding, adding a stylish, understated elegance to the J-185. Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Custom Rose Vine Fingerboard Inlay The fingerboard of Gibson's J-185 is constructed from the highest grade rosewood on earth, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite.

Gibson J-250 Monarch Acoustic Guitar Antique Natural $19999 The Gibson J-250 Acoustic is one of the most dazzling guitars ever built by Gibson - or anybody else. Rich Gibson Heritage The artisans at Gibson took the iconic crown inlays of the J-200 fretboard and headstock and made them even more regal and realistic looking to represent the class and rich heritage of the Monarch guitar. Both have extremely intricate inlay patterns that are executed with incredible precision containing multiple inlays within inlays of mother-of-pearl and Paua abolone. Hand-crafted Monarch Detailing The delicate volute at the hand stop at the rear of the headstock is hand executed on equally matched bound ebony. The J-250 Monarch is veneered with the guitar's serial number displayed in the banners of the mother-of-pearl inlay. The Quintessence of Gibson Quality The extra fretboard ebony binding harkens back to the classiest guitars of the jazz era of the '30s. The complete coverage of body joints with extra wide paua shell, a 3-piece back, and a new floral tortoise pickguard engraving are all done to surpass all fine guitars including the flagship Gibson model J-200. Regal Gibson Presentation Finely detailed appointments on the classy Monarch guitar: multi-ply body binding with abalone inlay, ebony moustache bridge with abalone inlays, genuine diamond gem "I" Gibson logo setting, and gold tuners all come together under a lacquer finish to unfold in a regal visual presentation. Sublimely sophisticated tone emanates from the guitar's solid select Sitka spruce top and Madagascar rosewood back and sides. The Eastern Curly Maple neck provides additional warm resonance. As a 1-time edition of 6, the Gibson Monarch guitar also includes a 20th anniversary Monarch label, 20th anniversary certificate of authenticity to ensure its rarity and notoriety. Gibson could sell many more a year, but the selection criteria for materials and the extra time to build keep the J-250 Monarch acoustic's numbers low, making each guitar very special.

Gibson Custom Gibson Byrdland Guitar Vintage Sunburst Gold Hardware $7399 The Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar represented a handful of developments that were radical, even revolutionary, in its dayHistoryMany working musicians of the fast-paced and musically adventurous '50s required a new instrumentone that captured traditional Gibson archtop artistry and craftsmanship, but represented a redrawing of the blueprint for the needs of the day. Enter the Byrdland, released in 1955 after consultation with first-call Nashville session musicians Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. Outwardly every bit a Gibson, this model represented a handful of developments that were radical, even revolutionary, in its day.The Byrdland retained the traditional carved solid-spruce arched top and wide dimensions (17") of big-bodied jazzers like its predecessor the L-5CES, but was considerably thinner, at only 2 1/4" deep. The electric guitar was here to stay, and Gibson's designers quite rightly determined that a guitar that was intended primarily as an electricrather than acousticinstrument should be made in a way that would minimize feedback. Gibson created the Thinline series, which included the Byrdland partnered by the ES-350T, released the same year. Together they constituted the first of the new thin-bodied breed, and launched a design trend for archtop electrics that would proliferate to this day. So successful was its design ethos, that it not only offered a popular alternative for jazz, pop, and country players, it also proved capable of cranking out heavy rock in the hands of guitarists such as Ted Nugent.BodyAt the request of Billy Byrd and Hank Garland, the Byrdland was made with a reduced scale length, but featured all the finery of a top-of-the-line Gibson archtop guitar. The Byrdland's super-thin neck and 23 1/2" scale length might have implied a "student model" instrument, but it was intended purely for speed and playing ease, and its five-ply binding, ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlay, gold-plated hardware, and triple-loop Byrdland trapeze tailpiece all single it out as a top-shelf guitar.HardwareBy now, the Byrdland had also acquired an upgrade in electronics, too. Originally offered in 1955 with Alnico V single coil pickups, it was made with PAF humbucking pickups from 1957 onward. Coupled to the traditional independent volume and tone controls and a three-way selector switch, these units gave the Byrdland the ability to produce anything from a smooth mellow purr to a hot, cutting twang.Near-perfect RecreationIn keeping with the desires of many players, the Gibson Custom Shop offers the finest original-spec rendition of this classic model that has been available since its production of the early 1960s. From the select maple and walnut used in its neck to the high-grade spruce of its top, no expense is spared in making this Thinline electric a guitar that Hank Garland and Billy Byrd would be proud of. Details such as the pearl flower-pot headstock inlay, multi-ply fingerboard binding, rounded Venetian cutaway, multi-ply boun

Gibson 75th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin $6999 The Gibson 75th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin holds true to its ancestors' heritage that dates back to the mid 1930s. Gibson attempted to reach a broader market of mandolin aficionados by introducing a series of instruments constructed with the tonal integrity of the vaunted Lloyd Loar F-5, but with slightly dressed-down cosmetics. Presented alongside the F-7 and F-10, the 1934 F-12 mandolin was the most fancy and would become one of the rarest mandolins in Gibson history. The carved solid spruce top and figured maple back and rims lent the F-12 a blend of cut and sweetness that could compete with any mandolin of the day, while its long-neck design offered supreme playability. Gibson now introduces the F-12 mandolin to honor the legacy of this original 1934 Gibson mandolin.Superior ConstructionOne of the first things you'll appreciate is the F-12's use of top-quality tonewoods. Its arched top is carved from select solid spruce, and its solid maple back and rims display beautiful figuring. Yet while it's definitely easy on your eyes, the F-12 mandolin is also quite appealing to your ears. Gibson's lauded tone-bar bracing contributes to superior punch, sweetness and sustain to your single-note runs, and outstanding clarity and definition whenever you play chords. An adjustable ebony bridge at one end and a genuine bone nut at the other helps everything you play ring like a bell, while gold-plated Grover tuners keep your tuning true.Subtle EleganceWhile the F-12's aesthetics are traditionally more restrained than those of some of Gibson's more adorned mandolins, it is by no means austere, offering you a timeless elegance that's sure to be appreciated. In honor of the original model of the mid-1930s, the 75th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin maintains stunning period-correct details, such as a beautiful red mahogany finish, a mother-of-pearl urn inlay on the peghead that has been precisely cut to original specs, and Gibson's traditional leaves-and-flowers inlay cut from mother-of-pearl on the rosewood fingerboard. Single-ply white binding on the body top and back and the fingerboard further enhance this instrument's style.Contemporary PlayabilityYou'll be thoroughly impressed by the Gibson mandolin's enhanced playability, and its ability to meet the discerning demands of the modern player. The mandolin's period-correct mahogany neck joins the body at the 15th fret, which gives you maximum accessibility of the upper-frets on the fingerboard extension.

Gibson 75Th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin $6999 The Gibson 75th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin holds true to its ancestors' heritage that dates back to the mid 1930s. Gibson attempted to reach a broader market of mandolin aficionados by introducing a series of instruments constructed with the tonal integrity of the vaunted Lloyd Loar F-5, but with slightly dressed-down cosmetics. Presented alongside the F-7 and F-10, the 1934 F-12 mandolin was the most fancy and would become one of the rarest mandolins in Gibson history. The carved solid spruce top and figured maple back and rims lent the F-12 a blend of cut and sweetness that could compete with any mandolin of the day, while its long-neck design offered supreme playability. Gibson now introduces the F-12 mandolin to honor the legacy of this original 1934 Gibson mandolin.Superior ConstructionOne of the first things you'll appreciate is the F-12's use of top-quality tonewoods. Its arched top is carved from select solid spruce, and its solid maple back and rims display beautiful figuring. Yet while it's definitely easy on your eyes, the F-12 mandolin is also quite appealing to your ears. Gibson's lauded tone-bar bracing contributes to superior punch, sweetness and sustain to your single-note runs, and outstanding clarity and definition whenever you play chords. An adjustable ebony bridge at one end and a genuine bone nut at the other helps everything you play ring like a bell, while gold-plated Grover tuners keep your tuning true.Subtle EleganceWhile the F-12's aesthetics are traditionally more restrained than those of some of Gibson's more adorned mandolins, it is by no means austere, offering you a timeless elegance that's sure to be appreciated. In honor of the original model of the mid-1930s, the 75th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin maintains stunning period-correct details, such as a beautiful red mahogany finish, a mother-of-pearl urn inlay on the peghead that has been precisely cut to original specs, and Gibson's traditional leaves-and-flowers inlay cut from mother-of-pearl on the rosewood fingerboard. Single-ply white binding on the body top and back and the fingerboard further enhance this instrument's style.Contemporary PlayabilityYou'll be thoroughly impressed by the Gibson mandolin's enhanced playability, and its ability to meet the discerning demands of the modern player. The mandolin's period-correct mahogany neck joins the body at the 15th fret, which gives you maximum accessibility of the upper-frets on the fingerboard extension. This constructional element also yields optimum bridge placement within the body, which ensures you get superior resonance and tone every time you pick it up and play. The tuning pegs have been drilled and splayed for superior performance, and the pickguard has been appropriately resized. Each 75th Anniversary F-12 Mandolin comes with a special Certificate of Authenticity and a Gibson hardshell case.BodyTop: spruceBack: figured mapleRim: figured mapleSoundhole: unbound F-holesBracing: tone barsTop binding: tortoise
