Full Description

An Iconic Jimmy Page Doubleneck

The Gibson Custom 1969 EDS-1275 Jimmy Page Doubleneck is an unmistakable piece of rock history. As the guitar that helped define Led Zeppelin’s legendary live performances, this model allows seamless transitions between six and twelve-string passages, just as Jimmy Page intended. From the soaring arpeggios of 'Stairway to Heaven' to the powerful chords of 'The Rain Song', this instrument became an essential part of his sound. Now, Gibson has recreated it with meticulous detail, using state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology and direct input from Jimmy Page himself. Every curve, component, and specification has been designed to match the original guitar before years of road wear, making this a true collector’s piece.

Expert Craftsmanship With Historic Accuracy

Built with a one-piece mahogany body, the EDS-1275 delivers the warmth and sustain that made the original legendary. Both the six-string and twelve-string necks are also crafted from solid mahogany and are set into the body using long tenons and hide glue, just like the original. These features enhance resonance and durability while maintaining an authentic vintage feel. The bound Indian rosewood fretboards provide smooth playability, with 20 frets per neck and aged cellulose nitrate parallelogram inlays that reflect the guitar’s period-correct styling. Even the headstocks feature the correct 17-degree angle and logo stylisation found on Jimmy Page’s original, ensuring that every detail is as historically accurate as possible.

Vintage-Inspired Hardware And Pickups

This guitar is built to deliver the unmistakable tone that made Jimmy Page’s performances so legendary. It features two Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Custombucker pickups per neck, each designed to replicate the sound of his original pickups. The six-string pickups are uncovered with double black bobbins, providing a raw, articulate tone, while the twelve-string pickups are covered, giving a smoother, more rounded sound. These pickups are paired with hand-wired CTS potentiometers and period-correct ceramic disc capacitors for ultimate vintage authenticity. The wiring setup ensures that every note is full of character, with a perfect balance between clarity and warmth.

Premium Components For True Vintage Feel

The hardware on the Jimmy Page EDS-1275 has been designed for performance, durability, and period-correct styling. The True Historic ABR-1 bridge and Chrome 6/12 EDS-1275 tailpieces provide exceptional stability while maintaining the guitar’s classic look. The 18 Kluson double-line, double-ring tuners with keystone buttons match those found on Jimmy Page’s original guitar, ensuring smooth and reliable tuning adjustments. The control layout remains true to the original design, featuring two volume and two tone knobs, a pickup selector switch, and a neck selector switch, all using high-quality Switchcraft components. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure an authentic playing experience.

VOS Finish For Vintage Character

The VOS (Vintage Original Spec) nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives this EDS-1275 a softly aged patina that captures the essence of Jimmy Page’s original before years of heavy touring wear. Unlike the Murphy Lab Collector’s Edition, which replicates every dent and scratch, this VOS model offers a cleaner, more refined vintage aesthetic without excessive relic work. The ‘69 Cherry finish provides a rich, deep red hue that enhances the guitar’s stunning double-neck profile, allowing the natural beauty of the mahogany to shine through. Complete with a Gibson Custom hardshell case, a vintage-style leather strap, and a certificate of authenticity featuring a photograph by Barrie Wentzell, this guitar is a true collector’s item built for both stage and studio use.
