This new Epiphone EDS-1275 Doubleneck updates the popular, iconic guitar associated with Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. Epiphone has bought it back and updated the specifications for 2026, so let’s take a look at what’s new.

EDS-1275

The EDS-1275 is an iconic double-neck design, and almost everyone associates it with Jimmy Page, as he used one live. Gibson made a limited run for him in 2024, and they were very expensive, so these more affordable Epiphone models are going to be popular with Zeppelin fans.

The Upgrade?

Epiphone’s big headline is that the upgraded model now comes with a bound rosewood fretboard on both necks. Which isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but at least it is closer to the original Gibson specifications. Both fretboards have the standard 12-inch radius and have been fitted with 20 medium-jumbo frets, plus a set of split parallelogram pearloid fretboard inlays.

It still has the double-cutaway mahogany body and SlimTaper mahogany necks with Kalamazoo-style headstocks and an Epiphone mother-of-pearl logo on both.

ProBucker

These models come with matched  Epiphone ProBucker 2 and ProBucker 3 humbucking pickups, so you should be able to get some decent tones. The 12-string half has covers, and the 6-string side has the uncovered pickup models.

Hardware includes LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridges with claw-style tailpieces, Epiphone Deluxe tuners, and GraphTech nuts.

Who is it for?

These are going to be useful for anyone who likes paying a chiropractor on a regular basis, or musicians who just must have 18 strings at their disposal! But seriously, if you like classic rock and Led Zeppelin, then you will probably enjoy these guitars.

Having a 12-string guitar on hand can be fun, so if you need one and would also like to have a spare 6-string guitar bolted to it, then you are in luck!

Thankfully, Epiphone includes a standard hardshell case in the price, since sourcing one of those is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they are expensive. My only advice is to buy a good-quality guitar strap, wide with lots of padding.
