Looks a bit like Bubba's Son of Gobshite.

SG twin 12 and 6... nothing like Bubba's masterpiece.
Bubba's is much nicer and prolly way better to play.

To give it its catalogue name it's an EDS 1275

Gibson EBS
Some were 4-string bass and guitar. Some were a 6-string baritone-style bass on top and regular 6-string on the bottom. All super rare.

Ah, cool. It didn't register that it might be a double-neck when I first looked it it. I thought it was a single neck with a body shaped a bit like Bubba's guitar.
Re: What guitar is this?
Could be an EBS.. The image on my phone is kinda tiny... The EBS was essentially the same but with a 4 string neck instead of the 12
Re: What guitar is this?
Yeah that Elvis pic is the 6-string bass version. EBS. The EDS was a 12/6 string double neck, right?

Yeh it was 12 and 6. Jimmy Page made it famous in That Song Remains the Same shit.... It was the holy grail for a lot of metal heads for a few years and CSL made a decent copy of it that can fetch good money these days. They are ridiculously heavy, a pain to play, horrible to keep in tune and frankly a complete pose...
Re: What guitar is this?
A single neck 6-string is plenty for me. The last thing I need is another neck and 12 more strings.muttley wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 11:49 am

Re: What guitar is this?
Me too. The one stringed instrument I hate and I have never built or owned one is a 12 string.

Reminds me of the bassist who wanted to be a guitar player Mike Rutherford from Genesis.
