There are very few guitars that can claim to be as instantly recognizable and iconic as Jimmy Page’s 1969 EDS-1275 Doubleneck. Made in close collaboration and with significant input from Jimmy Page, the Jimmy Page EDS-1275 from Gibson Custom uses new 3D scanning technology to aid in hand-crafting an effective clone of his EDS-1275 as it originally appeared prior to its extensive use and receiving the various dings and abrasions that invariably come with use on major world tours. The Jimmy Page EDS-1275 features a double-cutaway one-piece mahogany body that provides exceptional access to the full length of both the 12-string and six-string mahogany necks.
The necks are both capped with bound Indian rosewood fretboards. Each fretboard is equipped with 20 authentic medium jumbo frets and adorned with aged cellulose nitrate parallelogram inlays. The 18 tuners are Kluson® double line, double ring style, just like those found on the original guitar, and even the headstocks feature the correct 17-degree angle and specific logo stylization found on Jimmy’s EDS-1275. The electronics are just as authentic and deliver all of the sonic character of Jimmy’s legendary EDS-1275. Two uncovered Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Custombuckers with double black bobbins and Alnico 5 magnets are used for the two six-string pickups, while a covered pair is installed on the 12-string neck. Of course, the two volume and two tone controls use CTS® potentiometers and period-correct ceramic disc capacitors, and the pickup select switch, neck select switch, and output jack are all from Switchcraft®.
Here is your opportunity to own a clone of Jimmy Page’s famous 1969 EDS-1275, identical to how it appeared on the day that he originally received it. A Gibson Custom hard-shell case is included, along with a vintage leather strap and a certificate of authenticity with a photo from famed photographer Barrie Wentzell.
