Mod collection EDS-1275 Double Neck 4+6. Tbird PUs
« on: May 17, 2023, 08:49:25 AM »
$12K

TB pickups make it useful, not just pretty.  12.65 lbs. - not too bad for a double neck.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

That's cool!  Are those the current NR pickups?  I love the hardware aging they did.

 Epiphone bridge and tailpiece on a Gibson. Hmmmm.

Very nice!

The bridge set maybe the set from Philadelphia Luthiers. Which is not branded Epiphone.

Advanced Plating in TN makes those bridges, or at least they used to.

Pickguard is broken by the neck bass pickup? Looks like an odd angle if done on purpose.

I think that was deliberate.

It looks cool, but a builder like Seger, Serek or a couple of guys on here, could do a better job for sure.

Do rusty screws and Chibson-grade roughly cut acrylic pickguards really encourage folk to part with $12k these days?

Very cool. Too bad the bass is on top. Price is a bit much.

Nicely done.

Herr Heslin, all you need to do is play it lefty, and it's just right!

Extremely well done.

That’s what I was thinking. I wish that they would put the bass on the bottom like many other builders………..
