The 1997 Gibson EDS-1275 in Alpine White is a bold and iconic double-neck guitar that commands attention both visually and sonically. Inspired by the legendary design popularised in the early 1970s, it features a 12-string neck on top and a 6-string neck below, allowing players to switch between richly layered textures and classic rock leads seamlessly. The Alpine White finish, now aged into a creamier hue, gives it a dramatic, vintage character that perfectly matches its unmistakable silhouette and stage presence.

Each mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with parallelogram inlays, delivering the familiar feel of a classic SG-style profile, while the all-mahogany body provides warmth and sustain across both necks. With independent volume and tone controls for each set of pickups and a three-way selector to toggle between the 12-string, 6-string, or both, it’s built for maximum tonal flexibility. The pickups—Gibson humbuckers—produce a full-bodied sound, with the 12-string offering shimmering harmonic complexity and the 6-string delivering punchy, articulate tones.

This 1997 model continues the legacy of a guitar built for ambitious arrangements and dramatic tonal shifts without compromise. Whether used in orchestral rock settings, layered studio recordings, or as a performance centrepiece, the EDS-1275 delivers an unmistakable voice and presence. With its Alpine White finish, it’s not just a tool for multi-neck functionality, but a striking symbol of musical ambition and classic Gibson craftsmanship.
