With its distinctive silhouette, Jimmy Page’s Gibson EDS-1275 Doubleneck has become one of the most iconic guitars in history. The images of him playing it on stage with Led Zeppelin are indelible to rock ‘n’ roll history. Jimmy defined the model from the moment his EDS-1275 was delivered to him, which allowed him to play the acoustic and electric 6-string and 12-string parts of the song “Stairway to Heaven” at live performances, and later using it for “The Song Remains the Same,” “The Rain Song,” “Celebration Day,” “Tangerine,” and most recently at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last November as a tribute to Link Wray. The EDS-1275 has become synonymous with Page’s legendary stage presence and the electrifying moments that defined a genre.
