Limited edition of 50 signed by Don Felder.
Gibson Custom introduces the Don Felder "Hotel California" SG Double Neck guitar, in a strictly Limited
Edition with only 50 aged and signed units.
The instrument is crafted in the image of Gibson's iconic EDS-1275 Double
12 model, only around 110 of which were produced between 1962-'68, demanding a reissue in 1977, when Felder acquired his example.
The Don Felder Double Neck carries all the classic appointments of the era, including four great Gibson PAF-style humbucking
pickups (two per neck) on a resonant solid-mahogany body. In addition, however, the guitar also includes custom wiring and
modifications that Felder added to his own EDS-1275 to help it suit his live performance needs. All are aged to accurately
reflect the look of Felder's own Gibson Double Neck, while 50 are also signed and numbered by the artist himself. All come
with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Frequently named in polls for the "world's greatest guitar solos", and
listed at #49 in Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", Don Felder and Joe Walsh's dual guitar solo on
the Eagles' "Hotel California" tapped a searing tone and an atmospheric vibe that still resonate today. To give live renditions
their maximum impact, Don Felder has—right from the start—played the hit song on a Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck,
performing the haunting 12-string introduction on the guitar's top neck (routed through a Leslie rotating speaker unit) and
switching to the lower 6-string neck for the epic soloing duel with Joe Walsh.
