In the studio it was played on a Tele, live's a different story.

On another note, does the dude from Mastodon play this guitar? I have seen them live and he has a double-necked guitar, but I couldn't tell if it was this one or not...

My first one had Gibson engraved on the truss rod covers it was used and latter I noticed the necks were separating from the body so I got rid of that as fast as I could that was in 2004.
I sought out another in 2008 bought it from Amazon got screwed over was told it was new found it to look as if who ever owned it prior to selling to me had tried using it as a gardening tool to dig up tree stumps with the necks on it were the same (separating from the body)I got refunded on it lost $60.00 in shipping decided to order the alpine white from music123 of course I had to send it back as I have mentioned this was in July of 2008.
I was promptly told they were out of stock until October on the white model they kept setting the date back and I decided I might as well go for another cherry red musicians friend stepped it and finally I got my G-1275 in the all together.
My advice don't by this guitar used unless you buy it in person if you decide to buy one used off the net ask for pics of the the neck joints I use strap locks and a wide strap on mine and have yet to have a problem with it staying balanced in the playing position and I fight less with it than I did with my others.
The Gibson EDS-1275 is still in production here in the states it only went out of production in the late fifties for a short while the original had a thicker body to it.
The only complaint I have with the G-1275 is I wish they would have kept in in line with the Gibson EDS-1275 Jimmy Page's EDS-1275 had the bridges set back because they both pulled up from the mahogany being too soft to hole them in place.
One other thing to note and its taken three and a half years for this wise guy to figure this one out but when you set the neck selector toggle switch to have both necks on at the same time if you roll either of volume pots back or to the off position well you end up turning off both sets of pickups.
At any rate the one I currently own is still all stock which will change here real soon other than that so far so good its not too bad at all both necks feel surprisingly good actually.
