Overview

A perfect recreation of a historic 12-string and 6-string guitar.

A replica of Alex Lifeson’s own 70’s Gibson Double Neck, crafted in close collaboration with the Artist. This limited run of 100 EDS-1275’s is a replica of Alex’s famous Farewell to Kings Double Neck. Based on hands-on analysis and digital scans of the original’s neck and body profiles, each one is a literal copy of the guitar that Alex acquired in the mid-1970’s and one that would go on to become a visual and tonal icon.

“I acquired this (white) one in 1976, along with a cherry one, which I later gave to Eric Johnson. It’s been with me ever since, playing a constant role in the Farewell to Kings tour between 1977 and 1983, then again from 1991-1996, primarily for the song Xanadu. It was used to record the songs “Xanadu, Something for Nothing, and Vapor Trails. Also on others for accent , but I can’t recall them all!” 

Now, in very limited numbers, Gibson Custom is proud to offer the original “two-in-one” axe with undeniable stage presence based on Alex Lifeson’s own.
