Talk:Gibson EDS-1275

Currently in production or discontinued?

In the first paragraph of this article it says this model is still in production. Later on, in paragraph 3 - "Current Model" it says it is discontinued. I don't know enought to tell which is true, but they can't both be true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeIIIFan (talk • contribs) 20:01, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

• Some dufus removed the content for "Current model"; I just stuck it back in. The Gibson site lists it as a custom model. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 18:46, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Glaring omission

"Gibson's first doubleneck guitars were produced from 1958 to 1961 with a hollow body and two 6-string necks, one being a short-scale neck tuned to a higher octave; from 1962 to 1967 it had a solid body. A model with a 4-string bass and a 6-string guitar neck was called the EBS-1250". So Gibson made doublenecks with two six string necks and also with bass and guitar necks. But what about the EDS-1275? From the picture it appears to have 12 string and a 6 string necks but nowhere in the article does it explicitly say so. A rather glaring omission. 130.246.57.110 (talk) 15:45, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Adding additional entry to "Similar models" section

Attempted edit, which was reverted by an administrator who advised me to post on the talk page about this.

I believe this model is relevant enough to be added to the article, as it's a direct competitor to the Harley Benton model already listed here; both are budget modern reproductions of the EDS-1275 produced by in-house brands tied to online music stores.

Text copied here for clarity;

Gear4music

Gear4music (a British online music equipment retailer) produces a line of in-house double neck guitars including the "Brooklyn Double Neck Guitar", a budget modern reproduction of the EDS-1275. This model features the same 6/12 neck configuration and 22 frets as the EDS-1275, with a cherry finish.
