Epiphone G-1275
If you’re like me, a Gibson EDS-1275 costs
a lot more than any car you’ve ever bought,
putting it pretty far out of reach financially
unless you happen to strike oil while burying
a pet gerbil. Lucky for working dudes like
us, there’s Epiphone. The Epiphone G-1275
is an excellent alternative to the iconic
Gibson double-neck, providing a lot of
the feel, tone, and awe-inspiring
stage presence of that guitar
for about 5600 dollars
less. A couple of
highlights of the
Epiphone model are a
tail piece that is set back
further on the body like
Jimmy Page’s custom-ordered
Gibson (an arrangement which
is said to enhance tone and
sustain), and a three-way toggle in
the middle of the body for selecting
between the 12-string side, six-string
side, or both at once. Head on over to your
local Guitar Center right now, plug one of
these bad fellas into a solid-state Marshall
half-stack, and play “Stairway” until they
grab you by the belt loops and toss you out
into the alleyway.
