The EDS-1275 reached iconic status when Jimmy Page

The EDS-1275 reached iconic status when Jimmy Page began using it for live performances of Stairway to Heaven. Since then, the few vintage examples out there have become highly collectible and command high prices amongst collectors. This 1997 model is a perfect choice for a player who wants all the versatility and the undeniable "cool" Factor of playing a double neck Gibson without the collector price tag. Both the 6 and 12 string necks play great all the way up the fingerboard, while the doublecut mahogany body lends to unrestricted access to every fret. The guitar includes the original Gibson hardshell case.

At Rumble Seat Music we strive to find only the best guitars, as well as the best gear to provide to other musicians. Having been only an authorized Gibson dealer, we are now proud to carry and become the only authorized seller of these amazing sounding VVT Georgia Overdrive pedals! As stated on the VVT website, "The Georgia Overdrive fulfills Jim’s vision for a really smooth analog overdrive pedal with true bypass that enhances the tone and natural EQ range of your guitar. The name is inspired from Jim’s homestate, as well as David Dudley’s 1963 single, “Six Days on the Road”, a truck driving song that highlights the working man, written by Earl Green and Carl Montgomery. The second verse begins: “I got me ten forward gears and my Georgia overdrive.” We may have to wait for a future pedal design for 10 Forward Gears, but now you have your Georgia Overdrive." These are the best pedals we have heard since the 60's, and are proud to share with all of you!

The original Maestro short vibrola tailpiece is included along with the tremolo arm but has been bypassed with an adjustable bridge allowing better intonation. The original P90 pickup sounds absolutely ferocious but is incredible dynamic and responds to subtle changes in picking and volume/tone control settings. A lightweight, resonant guitar with a comfortable neck, 1 9/16" nut width, and a rare finish; it doesn't get much cooler!

The classic Gibson "Sloped Shoulder" design, spruce top, and mahogany back and sides deliver the unmistakable Gibson flat top tone that has proved to be exceptionally versatile. This fully original example is free from cracks or repairs and plays wonderfully all the way up the neck.

In 1958 Gibson debuted one of the most recognizable and innovative guitar designs of all time; the Flying V. It proved to be too radical for most players at that time, but in 1967 a very brief run was brought back to the product line. These featured a solid mahogany body with a set mahogany neck, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and Gibson's Maestro short vibrato tailpiece. The original humbucking pickups sound fantastic while the famous body design allows unrestricted access to the entire fingerboard. A nearly invisable headstock repair was performed at some time in the guitar's life but it doesn't effect the playability or stop this from being a great sounding guitar. This instrument includes the original hardshell case, as well as an SKB case for added security when transporting it. With only about 175 original '67 Flying V's made this is certainly a rare guitar and an ideal addition to any collection!
