Gibson Don Felder Double Neck "Hotel California" Aged (2010)

The Eagles album “Hotel California” was released on December 8, 1976 and is still one of the most successful longplayers in Rock history. The title track was composed by Eagles members Don Felder, Glenn Fry and Don Henley and for the iconic intro Don Felder needed an electric 12-string guitar with a capo attached to the seventh fret. But since Felder also had to take on a lot of lead parts in this piece he conveniently reached for a Gibson SG double neck. We are pleased to be able to offer you the exact replica of this double neck today. Only 110 of the original guitar were produced between 1962 and 1968 and this exclusive rarity factor continues with the replica with only 100 specimens of the “Aged” version being built in the Gibson Custom Shop. Of course these have long since sold out and a Don Felder double neck is also extremely rare on the second-hand market. The guitar has all the classic features of this musical era, including four great Gibson PAF-style humbuckers on an enormously resonant, solid mahogany body. It also features special wiring and of course all the individual modifications that Felder made to his own EDS-1275 to optimize it for his live performances. As always when it comes to special signature instruments the Custom Shop has meticulously replicated the look of Felder's double neck in every detail. And sonically you get the best of both worlds: the natural, mellow sound of a 12-string neck and the smacking, fat power chords and solos of a six-string Rock'n'Roll beast! A fantastic collector's item with great music-historical rarity value, but this double-neck, which we can offer you in top condition, is also a soundmighty player's guitar with a rich variety of sounds!
