Epiphone EDS-1275 Doubleneck Vintage Cherry w/case

The Epiphone EDS-1275 Doubleneck in Vintage Cherry brings one of rock music's most recognizable guitar designs into a versatile instrument that combines six-string and 12-string capabilities. Inspired by the legendary doubleneck guitars used by generations of rock, progressive, and fusion players, the EDS-1275 allows musicians to move between traditional electric guitar tones and the rich, shimmering sound of a 12-string without changing instruments. This updated model features a solid mahogany body, two set mahogany necks with SlimTaper profiles, bound rosewood fingerboards, and four Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers. The gloss Vintage Cherry finish, nickel hardware, and classic double-cutaway silhouette preserve the unmistakable appearance of this iconic design.

The solid mahogany body provides a warm, midrange-focused tonal foundation with the sustain and resonance associated with traditional set-neck electric guitars. Its distinctive double-cutaway design accommodates both necks while providing access to the upper frets, and beveled body edges improve comfort during extended performances. Unlike guitars with chambered or weight-relieved construction, the EDS-1275 uses a solid mahogany body without weight relief. This substantial design contributes to the instrument's familiar feel and resonant character while supporting the hardware and electronics required for two complete guitar configurations.

Both mahogany necks feature glued-in set-neck construction and comfortable SlimTaper 60s C profiles, providing a fast, familiar playing experience when transitioning between six-string and 12-string passages. Each neck is equipped with a bound rosewood fingerboard featuring a 12" radius, 20 medium jumbo frets, and pearloid split parallelogram inlays. The 24.75" scale length provides comfortable string tension, while Graph Tech nuts and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with keystone buttons help maintain tuning stability across all 18 strings. Traditional Kalamazoo-style headstocks feature mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo inlays, completing the instrument's classic appearance.

Four Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers provide the EDS-1275 with a broad range of sounds across both necks. Each guitar configuration features a ProBucker 2 in the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker 3 in the bridge position, delivering balanced output with clear articulation and a strong midrange response. The 12-string neck uses nickel-covered humbuckers for a smooth, balanced character that complements its natural chime and harmonic complexity. The six-string neck features uncovered humbuckers for a slightly brighter, more assertive response suited to powerful rhythm playing and expressive leads. Together, the two pickup sets provide everything from shimmering 12-string cleans and layered chord textures to saturated six-string rock tones.

The EDS-1275 features a flexible switching arrangement designed to make its dual-neck configuration practical during live performance. Each neck has its own master volume and tone controls with CTS potentiometers, along with a dedicated three-way pickup selector for choosing the neck pickup, bridge pickup, or both. A third three-way toggle switch allows players to activate the six-string neck, the 12-string neck, or both simultaneously, providing additional possibilities for layered sounds and seamless transitions. Separate LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridges provide precise intonation adjustment, while traditional claw-style tailpieces securely anchor the strings. Finished with nickel hardware, black speed knobs, and classic Vintage Cherry styling, the Epiphone EDS-1275 offers the versatility of two electric guitars in one distinctive instrument. An Epiphone hardshell case is included for protection and transportation.
