1958 / 1963 Gibson EMS-1235 Double Mandolin double neck. Vintage golden era one-of-a-kind EDS-1275 EBS-1250This is an extraordinary instrument. There were only 40’ish of the original custom order “spruce top” hollowbody EMS double necks shipped. There are about a dozen white ones. I have collected and researched these for over 30 years. I played my first “Spruce Top” in 1983…and it made an impression. I have since owned 11 of the original 40+ instruments. Almost all of them are now in museums, buried in serious private collections, or parked with well-known rock stars. There may be less than 5 or 6 still unaccounted for. (Assuming the shipping totals are accurate.)The “Spruce Top” hollowbody Doublenecks are arguably the most undervalued of the “Golden Era” Gibson instruments. At an introductory price of $435, these were insanely expensive. Almost all of them were bought by performing musicians….much more so than any other single Gibson model. With an exclusive one-of-a-kind gloriously unique tone, intricate construction, and production numbers almost completely in line with 50’s Korina Explorers, one could easily argue these should be $500k+ instruments, right now.This one, however, is one-of-a-kind. There are maybe a handful of golden era Gibson instruments more bizarre and unusual this this. The original CASE and some tags are included.Due to the fact it cannot be replaced, international delivery will be via hand delivery only. Bring your “A game” to the table, this is top shelf stuff right here!

The Gibson EDS-1275, often referred to as the 'Double 12', is famously associated with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. This double-necked electric guitar is ideal for playing both 6-string and 12-string parts seamlessly without needing to switch instruments. With its solid mahogany body and tasteful cherry finish, the EDS-1275 is both visually and sonically impressive.
