Gibson Certified Vintage 1986 EDS-1275
Jimmy Page, Slash, Alex Lifeson… for six decades, Gibson’s iconic EDS-1275 doubleneck has captured the imagination of rock stars and fans the world over, and its unmistakable silhouette has graced the biggest stages on the planet. Made in 1986, this stellar example was discovered in its original case in the Gibson Vault in Nashville, Tennessee, in New Old Stock condition, with the protective plastic still on its pickguard.
After almost four decades in storage, the guitar’s Alpine White nitrocellulose finish has begun checking, and there is some discoloration in small areas, along with a small chip in the finish near the heel on the bass side of the 12-string neck. However, it remains a superb example of a Gibson doubleneck from the mid-1980s era and comes complete with its original hardshell case.
Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting July 27, 2023.
