What guitar is this?

New Guitar Day? Obsessed with tone? 10 on the volume dial not enough? Celestion vs. Electrovoice? Cum in, feel the noize.

SG twin 12 and 6... nothing like Bubba's masterpiece.

Bubba's is much nicer and prolly way better to play.

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.

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

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...

A single neck 6-string is plenty for me. The last thing I need is another neck and 12 more strings.

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.
