Gibson Custom 69 EDS 1275 Jimmy Page Doubleneck VOS Cherry

Built to the Exact Specifications of Jimmy Page’s Iconic 1969 EDS-1275 Doubleneck

There are very few guitars that can claim to be as instantly recognizable and iconic as Jimmy Page’s 1969 EDS-1275 Doubleneck. The photos of him playing it on stage with Led Zeppelin are indelible to rock ’n’ roll history. While Gibson has been making doubleneck electric guitars since 1958, Jimmy was the player who defined the EDS-1275 from the day it was delivered to him. The Gibson EDS-1275 allowed him to play the numerous 6 and 12-string acoustic and electric guitar parts of Stairway to Heaven during live performances. He also later used the EDS-1275 for The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song, Celebration Day, Tangerine, and more recently at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November 2023.

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 VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives it a softly aged patina without the custom, highly-detailed Murphy Lab aging that duplicated the lacquer checking and other wear of the original guitar that was featured on the Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Doubleneck Collector’s Edition.

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. Both necks have long tenons and are hide glue fit, and the neck profiles are recreated from 3D scans of the necks on the original guitar. 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 fretboards of both necks have a 12” radius, which is perfect for both playing chords as well as for string bending while soloing. 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 hardshell case is included, along with a vintage leather strap and a certificate of authenticity with a photo from famed photographer Barrie Wentzell.
