Description

This extremely rare 1966 Gibson EMS-1235 in Cherry with Gold Hardware is fully original! We’ve seen a bunch of original Gibson double necks with an assortment of neck combos, but this one has got to be one of the coolest! On one side is an eight-string mandolin neck, while on the other is a four-string tenor guitar neck. This unique guitar was custom-ordered to meet the original owner’s specifications, including two flowerpot inlays on the headstock and block inlays in both fretboards. This double neck even features standard six-pole humbuckers, with pearl inlays used to cover the extra holes. We’ve never seen one quite like this, so if you’re a Mandolin or Tenor guitar player, this piece is for you. Even better if you play both!
