The incredible double-neck fantasy guitar, with details true to its original conception. Limited edition of 250 instruments worldwide.

Each Jimmy Page Reissue Double Neck is carefully modeled on Jimmy's classic guitar, from the shape of the neck to the long-string-pull tailpiece. Even the pickups were painstakingly analyzed to duplicate their unique sound.

Like the original it has a mahogany body, mahogany necks with Madagascar rosewood fretboards and pearloid split parallelogram inlays. 2 specially-designed Gibson Jimmy Page humbuckers (the same as on the enormously successful Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul) reproduce the amazing tone Led Zeppelin fans love. The ABR-1 style bridge and double-band vintage-style tuners are also true to the original.

Jimmy Page originally sought out a double-neck when the Led Zeppe lin IV album was completed and it was clear that "Stairway to Heaven" would have to be played live. To keep pace with the changes of the song, there would be no time to change between 6- and 12-string guitars. The Gibson double-neck worked out so well that Jimmy used it on other Led Zeppelin songs, including "Rainsong," "Celebration," and "The Song Remains the Same."

The almost magical effect of the Gibson Jimmy Page Double neck remains the same as well, but only 250 of these Vintage Original Spec models are being produced worldwide - if you wait too long, it will be nearly as difficult to buy one of these as, well, a Stairway to Heaven.
