First off, I love this guitar. But it needs some work. -Opening the case the guitar looked beautiful, but there was some weird stuff I had to scrape off the side of the 12 string headstock. Other than that, there was no damages or any flaws visually -Right away the guitar needed a full set up, and truss Rod adjustment on both necks. The 6 string was close enough to intonated but the 12 was all over the place. And was able to bring the action down after that with no buzzing or issues. -The Epiphone vintage style tuners are cheap. They’ll hold tune once you get it there and do the job decent enough but long story short.. they suck! When I took them off to replace them, the holes that were drilled into the headstock was a hack job. Built on a Friday. Just brutal and rough. I replaced the tuners as soon as I could with a set of gotoh locking tuners (I had to tap out the inner sleeves/collars of the vintage style tuners with a punch and some light hammer work, then I re drilled the holes to clean up the garbage job epiphone did and to fit the new tuners. it’s not as scary as it sounds and it’s worth it) -2 other minor issues are being resolved by upgrading to locking tuners 1. The claw design of the bridge that holds the string: makes string changes a real pain with the original tuners. 2. Atleast 6 of the strings of the double neck have to be wound by hand: with locking tuners you save yourself a lot of time and struggle. -the Epiphone Alnico pickups (this comes down to personal preference and opinion, so everyone is different ) I only really liked the bridge pickup of the 6 string, it’s tight clean and crunchy, the neck pickup has to much low end for me and drowns it out. The pickups on the 12 are decent enough but not clean or clear enough for me. Sounds more like a 12 string effect. I will be changing them. -the case I purchased separately but at the same time, was built cheap. The outside of the case was going to peel apart all along the bottom someday if I didn’t tape it up. But other than that it’s good. Honestly, whoever passed the QC checks didn’t check over the whole guitar and is just wasting the ink in there pen …but I’m not expecting a master built double neck lol I know what I’m buying... with some love and higher quality hardware it makes it a decent guitar into a great guitar !

So i wrote a review from september of 2019 saying how I regretted selling my doubleneck. Happy to report that I have acquired a second one and its awesome!!!! 12 string sounds great, 6 string could use some new pickups but that's not a big thing!!! its still heavy (albiet not anywhere near as heavy as my lp standard) but totally manageable. now if only I knew how to play!!!

I really like the humbucker pro pickups on the 6 string. Actually my go to sound for recording that perfect Scorpions style crunch. The wide 12 string neck is an improvement over the Gibson for fat fingered players, and the third toggle for 12 string pickup selection a smart design. Double necks are not just to play Stairway to heaven - any band with just one guitarist can benefit from a full strumming 12 string like for Eagles or even Beatles songs. Having the 6 string on hand is a bonus for solos or other guitar parts, I don't complain about the heavy weight as Fender bass players will give you no sympathy for a typical 45 minute set!

when i recieved mine i was very excited, as soon as i opened the box i was like , a kid in a candy shop. the workmanship of this guitar , very very good considering the big price gap from the Gibson. Now lets get to the meat and potatoes, she sounds great, im very pleased, both the 12 string and 6 play well, i was actually shocked how well the 6 string sound, hmmm, one things for sure i need to get Some Ernie Ball slinky's on soon. the guitar jack is a lil loose but tighten that, as for the rest the switches, lets just say there not Gibson quality. One thing i live is the tunners very easy smooth and she stays in tune i give this guitar a 4.8 stars if it had better switches it would no doubt be a easy 5 star guitar. All in all im very happy with my purchase

I ordered this into the store and it came boxed up and untouched and the reveal was amazing (insert sounds of angels singing). My first impression upon initially inspecting the guitar were that the build quality was very good and knowing that if anything was really wrong with it I could bring it back, so I quickly paid for it and headed home to give it a tryout. Right away of course it needed to be tuned, but it wasn't too bad. Amping up and running it through the paces I was impressed with the clarity of the 12 string but found the 6 string to be missing the mid-range strings through the amp, but doing a full setup on the guitar at a later time really made a huge difference. My setup included a truss rod adjustment on the 6 string, bridge height for proper string gap, intonation and pickup height adjustments for both necks and pickup pole height adjustments on the 6 string to get those mid-ranges to come through. Now it is playing and sounding much better than it did out of the box. The switches aren't great and will need to be replaced eventually but otherwise I am extremely pleased with it. As I said, build quality is very good, fit and finish are flawless. I bought the red one and the wood grain really shows and looks beautiful. I can't forget to mention that it is so cool to play, especially when you use it for a song that needs both necks to be played properly.

Obviously, the reason for buying this guitar is the utter coolness of the Gibson EDS doubleneck that we all watched Page, Lifeson, Felder, etc... use but not being able to afford the $8000.00 to get one (I am still dreaming of owning the original one day). I got my G1275 with the case for about $1600.00 all in. Mine is the alpine white model, and of course, it looks unbelievable, but the quality of the guitar is commensurate with the price. Another reviewer here mentions the switches, and yes, all three toggles on mine are scratchy and pretty unreliable and I will replace them. The guitar is on the heavy side, but weighs about the same as my Gibson Les Paul Standard. All those tuning heads make it quite top heavy though, so it tends to slide down. I was able to get this a bit more under control with a KLIQ AirCell guitar strap which also gives a bit of a shock absorber effect as it is neoprene. Generally speaking, I have found that I prefer the twelve string neck and pick ups to the six string. The intonation on the twelve string is much better than I expected and it actually stays in tune quite nicely. I own an older Epiphone G400 SG that I find plays and sounds MUCH better than the six string neck on the G1275. I have found the six string pick ups to sound dead, but I lent it to a buddy for a couple of weeks and he thinks I am nuts, so you'll need to decide for yourself. I am certainly not an exceptional guitar player and don't do any gigging, but have been collecting for 35 years or so and own a dozen guitars ranging from a hundred bucks all the way up to about four grand, and despite the shortcomings of this guitar, I still love it and would never sell it. I'll just add upgrades as I see fit and can afford.

This guitar is well build and plays very nicely. The pickups sound rich, and are not too muffled for humbuckers. The biggest flaw I found was the switches. All three of them were unreliable and crackly. Certainly not suitable for live shows, and annoying for recording. I replaced them all with a higher quality Les Paul style of switch (Switchcraft brand, I think), which required a very small amount of wood removal. The result was such a huge improvement I was very, very pleased. These other switches also look much nicer than the originals. I would recommend this swap/upgrade for anyone who is seriously wanting to play this guitar, especially live.

As a kid, I always thought these were dreamy but hard to play, but when I grew up and played it in the store, I quickly realized that it is smooth and sounds GREAT. In my opinion, it has the perfect space between tiers and the overall quality of the sound is outstanding. I recommend digging into your wallet to buy this, because I certainly will!

Great guitar, steal of a deal at current price vs Gibson double neck. Plays great, set up out of box was fine - guitar even in tune BNIB. pickups sound good too. For reviewer above: these guitars only started shipping out to stores globally in early June as far as I know (even though announced earlier in year), no one had in stock anywhere before then (Canada, England, etc) so if you are reviewing July '14 then don't blame Yorkville for a 4mo delay, your guitar was getting built and shipped from Korea in that time! L+M only got them into their system mid June.

I seem to find a lot of haters with this guitar, everyone who doesn't own one seems to think its a terrible idea & just a novelty. I totally agree IF you only own one maybe 2 guitars, but as someone with upwards to 10 guitars I couldn't be happier. People also say this guitar is heavy & it is, lets be real people what did you expect? but I think unless your a frail, thin person who doesn't do any physical activity Its really not a big deal at all, when your sitting it is actually very comfortable(to me anyways). Don't let people who don't own these guitars tell you they are just novelty or a stupid Idea, If you look at owner reviews they are usually very highly rated. The only issues I had was getting it shipped in, Yorkville shouldn't let customers wait 3-4 months for a guitar just sitting in a warehouse, especially with a music industry where guitar buying isn't the thing it used to be, but I could be totally misunderstanding it though

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
