Jimmy Page and Gibson have teamed up for the 1969 EDS-1275 Doubleneck Collector’s Edition guitar.
A recreation of Page’s iconic doublenecked guitar, the new signature model is a holy grail replica for both Led Zeppelin fans and guitar collectors.
Only 50 of the instruments were made using Gibson’s 3D scanning technology and ultra-precise Murphy Lab aging techniques, essentially cloning Page’s original, right down to the exact playing wear — every knick and scratch — and sonic characteristics.
Each axe comes hand-signed and physically played by Page himself using a Herco Flex pick that is included with each specific serialized guitar. In addition, a collection of ephemera curated by Page is housed inside the special “Zoso” hardcase: a “Certificate of Authenticity Book” with a photo taken by Barrie Wentzell; a wooden pick display for the Herco pick; a premium cherry/black leather Strap and vintage replica strap; Schaller strap locks; an embroidered dragon guitar shroud; and a Gibson doubleneck stand.
The signature model is the first collaboration in a new partnership between Page and Gibson Brands.
“One of the most influential musicians in history, Jimmy Page is an icon across all genres of music, art, and culture and co-founder of one of the biggest bands of all time, Led Zeppelin,” said Cesar Gueikian, CEO of Gibson, in a press release. “Being the main music writer in Led Zeppelin, Jimmy leveraged his blues and folk inspirations to orchestrate the pioneering rock sound that became the signature of the band and revolutionized rock across all of its future variations. We are grateful for Jimmy’s trust and partnership, and we look forward to paying tribute to him.”
To order the 1969 EDS-1275 Doubleneck Collector’s Edition, you’ll have to call Gibson Garage in Nashville directly, implying a hefty price tag.
