12 string guitar headstock is broken off for the right person it's a very easy fixA rock n' roll legend makes a comeback.Epiphone celebrates the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion with the return of one of its most iconic and original designs, the Ltd. Ed. G-1275 6-string and 12-string Doubleneck. The Ltd. Ed. G-1275 Doubleneck once again makes one of rock' most iconic instruments available to the world at a price anyone can afford.The G-1275 is based on the vintage original œ1235 Doubleneck that was first produced at the legendary Gibson/Epiphone Kalamazoo, Michigan factory in 1963. It quickly became one of the most sought-after and original guitars in rock. It was not only embraced by British rockers like Pete Townshend of the Who, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, and John McLaughlin but also Elvis Presley and bluesman Earl Hooker. When Epiphone first reintroduced the Doubleneck, it too became a legend thanks to The Flaming Lips. Now, it' back again with that one-of-a-kind sound at an affordable price.The SG StoryThe SG œSolid Guitar body style on which the G-1275 Doubleneck is based was first introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the Les Paul Standard which went briefly out of production in the early '60s. The SG was called the "fretless wonder" for its low frets and fast action and the twin horn cutaway design was like nothing on the market. Its light but balanced weight made it the perfect guitar for stage and studio work and even in the form of the G-1275 Doubleneck, its surprisingly balanced and easy to play.A Rock IconEpiphone's Ltd. Ed. G-1275 has a select mahogany body with a C=cherry finish. Both the 12-string and 6-string necks are made from mahogany and share a 1960s SlimTaperTM shape, a 12" radius and a 25.75" scale. Both necks also feature Rosewood fingerboards with single layer ivory binding, medium jumbo frets, and pearloid parallelogram block inlays. The 12-string features a 1.85" nut width while the 6-string is cut to the standard 1.68". Machine heads are period-correct œDeluxe Tulip Button tuners with a pro 18:1 ratio.High Flying SoundThe Ltd. Ed. G-1275 isn™t just eye catching, it sounds extraordinary, too. The 12-string half of the G-1275 features an Alnico Classic humbucker in the neck position and an Alnico Classic Plus humbucker in the bridge position. The 6-string body is powered by an open coil Alnico Classic humbucker in the neck and an open coil Alnico Classic Plus humbucker at the bridge. Both pickups are controlled by full function Black Speed Knobs for volume and tone that are powered by full-size 500K potentiometers.Epiphone Hardware You Can TrustEpiphone has also re-created the one-of-a-kind hardware and pickguard that make the Ltd. Ed. G-1275 one of the most easily recognized guitars in rock. The 6-string and 12-string each have their own Epiphone all-metal 3-way toggle switch for pickup selection. There is also a second œmaster all-metal 3-way toggle switch located between the 6-string and 12-string bridge. From here, players can choose the 12-string (up), the 6-string (down) or both (middle) for unlimited tone combinations. The G-1275 Custom features Epiphone' famous LockTone bridge and special ABS style œClaw tailpieces which yields incredible sustain. The all Nickel hardware also includes Epiphone' heavy duty ¼ output jack.Case sold separately.FEATURESBodyBody shape: Double neckBody type: Solid bodyBody material: Solid woodTop wood: Not applicableBody wood: MahoganyBody finish: GlossOrientation: Right handedNeckNeck shape: '60s SlimTaper DNeck wood: MahoganyJoint: Set-inScale length: 24.75"Truss rod: StandardNeck finish: GlossFretboardMaterial: RosewoodRadius: 12"Fret size: Medium jumboNumber of frets: 20Inlays: ParallelogramNut width: 1.68" (42.67mm)PickupsConfiguration: HHNeck: Alnico ClassicMiddle: Not applicableBridge: Alnico Classic PlusBrand: EpiphoneActive or passive: PassiveSeries or parallel: SeriesPiezo: NoActive EQ: NoSpecial electronics: NoneControlsControl layout: Volume 1, volume 2, tone 1, tone 2Pickup switch: Dual 3-wayCoil tap or split: NoKill switch: NoHardwareBridge type: FixedBridge design: Tune-o-maticTailpiece: StopbarTuning machines: Deluxe sealedColor: NickelOtherNumber of strings: 6-string, 12-stringSpecial features: Limited editionCase: Sold separatelyAccessories: None
