Description

Dive into the world of versatility and rarity with the Gibson EBSF-1250 Guitar/Bass Double-Neck. A true collector's gem, this instrument is a marvel of craftsmanship and design. Born from the fusion of a Gibson SG and an EB-3 bass, it offers a unique playing experience for musicians who crave variety without compromise. The EBSF-1250 is not just an instrument; it's a statement piece, reflecting a time when innovation in sound was at its peak.

Designed for the ambitious musician who refuses to be limited, this double-neck features two bass pickups and two humbuckers on the six-string guitar side, delivering a broad sonic palette. The onboard fuzz effect, present in models prior to 1966, adds a layer of vintage grit and character to your performance, allowing you to explore tones that range from classic rock to experimental soundscapes. The rarity of this model, with fewer than 30 ever produced, makes it a coveted addition for both players and collectors alike.

Whether you're laying down deep bass grooves or soaring guitar solos, the Gibson EBSF-1250 is your all-in-one ticket to musical freedom. Its seamless transition between guitar and bass allows for fluid creativity and an expanded range that few instruments can offer.

Key Features:

  • Dual-neck design combining guitar and bass
  • Two bass pickups and two humbuckers on the six-string side
  • Onboard fuzz effect for pre-1966 models
  • Fewer than 30 units ever manufactured
  • Fusion of Gibson SG and EB-3 design elements for versatile sound and playability

Gibson EBS-1250 & EBSF-1250 Double Neck Bass/Guitar

vintage-guitars.blogspot.com

The Gibson EBSF-1250 double-neck guitar/bass is a rare gem from the 60s, melding the SG standard guitar with the EB-3 bass. Its built-in fuzz tone was a novelty, making it a unique piece of history. However, its limited production (fewer than 30 units) and hefty price tag (over $18,000 for early models) make it more a collector's item than a practical choice for most musicians. While its vintage charm and dual functionality are attractive, the rarity and cost may deter all but the most dedicated Gibson enthusiasts.
