One of Just Fifteen Gibson Double Twelves Made in 1959.

This custom built double-neck weighs just 10.50 lbs. (very light for one of these!). Each neck has a nut width of 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Laminated maple body (just over two inches deep) with a fine-grained spruce top, two one-piece mahogany necks and Brazilian rosewood fretboards each with 20 original typical 1959 'jumbo' frets and inlaid pearl split-parallelogram position markers. The body of the guitar is triple-bound on the top and bottom. Each headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and two-layer (black on white) truss-rod cover with "Custom" engraved in white. Individual single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with double-ring tulip-shaped Keystone plastic buttons (each tuner stamped on the underside "D-169400 / Patent No."). Four (double-black) PAF humbucker pickups (each with a small rectangular black label with "Patent Applied For" in gold and with outputs of 7.78k and 8.34k on the six-string and outputs of 7.85k and 8.13k on the twelve-string. Two five-layer (black/white/black/white/black) plastic pickguards with bevelled edges. Four controls (one volume and one tone for each guitar) plus a three-way pickup selector switch for each guitar and also a central three-way guitar selector switch. Gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with white markings. Each guitar with the original ABR-1 non-retainer Tune-O-Matic bridge. Original non-adjustable bar tailpieces (each with three screws) for both guitars. Two original strap buttons, one on the heel of the twelve-string neck and one on the lower edge of the guitar. This exceptionally rare instrument is in near mint (9.25) condition with just a few minor surface marks and abrasions on the spruce top. There is virtually no fret or fretboard wear and this wonderful double-neck sounds absolutely amazing. Housed in the original Gibson brown rectangular hardshell case with pink plush lining (9.00).
