The Gibson Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Doubleneck was revealed at an exclusive star-studded event at the new Gibson Garage London before the official store opening this weekend. This announcement is just the first release of a new Gibson Jimmy Page series of guitars.

UPDATE from 03/14/2024

So here it is, the expected Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Doubleneck Signature. It was clear that the first version would be high-priced, but $49999 was a surprise even for us. Ouch! They used 3D scanning and Murphy Lab ageing techniques to make these as accurate as possible.

The new Gibson Garage London event was held with stars in attendance, including Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, and Brian May. A video accompanying the announcement shows Page playing Link Wray’s Rumble on the famous guitar.

This official reveal of the new Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Doubleneck was the main attraction. Though Page and Gibson have also stated they are working on a series of recreations of his iconic guitars. This means we could see significant announcements over the coming year and beyond. Led Zeppelin fans, you had better start saving now!

“When I met with Cesar and he explained what the future of Gibson looked like, I knew I needed to be involved. There is a spirit in the place; after seeing the people working at the factories and getting a connection with them, I knew that picking up that Les Paul Custom and the Doubleneck all those years ago was certainly the right decision.” – Jimmy Page.

The Doubleneck

Gibson states they have recreated Page’s iconic 1971 Gibson EDS-1275 using advanced 3D scanning and analysis to replicate its physical and tonal characteristics. Along with a Murphy Lab-aged finish, use select-tone woods and analysis of the original guitar pickups to help duplicate the guitar.

It will be an expensive guitar, and we will update you with more details once they are officially announced.

What else is coming?

The speculation has already started, and the Gibson Les Paul Standards, known as #1 and #2, along with Page’s Les Paul Custom (Page mentions this guitar in the Instagram post above), have all been mentioned by fans, enthusiasts and guitar geeks. I’m guessing that Gibson will make a lot of guitars.

The standard formula appears to be to release a limited Custom Shop Murphy Lab-aged version, a standard Custom Shop version, then a more affordable US version, followed by an Epiphone run. Therefore, we could see a glut of new Jimmy Page guitars over the coming 12-36 months.

Cesar Gueikian, Gibson’s CEO, was at the event and is a massive fan of Zeppelin. I can see him wanting to create some exceptional guitars. So prepare for some great new instruments from Gibson over the coming years.
