Heads Up: Ben Harper gets Gibson electric doubleneck, to perform on Letterman Wednesday

Earlier this year, Gibson USA built an EDS-1275 doubleneck electric for the folk-rock artist Ben Harper. Wednesday night, September 6, Harper with his new axe and his band Innocent Criminals will perform on the David Letterman show.

Harper with the Innocent Criminals is on tour supporting his latest release, Burn to Shine.

With Gibson's new EDS-1275 of 1958, guitarists could for the first time switch from a six-string to a twelve-string without changing instruments. The EDS-1275 adopted the SG body style in 1962 and remains the ultimate in a doubleneck guitar. The EDS-1275 features both the Gibson "modern" vintage humbuckers, the 490R in the neck positions and the 490T in the bridge position.

Go here to see the Gibson EDS-1275 electric doubleneck. Call 1-800-4GIBSON anytime for more information or send Gibson Customer Support an email with any questions.
