El Ten Eleven and the Double-Neck Guitar
Bit uninformed there: Jimmy got the double-neck specially made (Gibson had stopped making them) so he could play Stairway live...not because it "looked cool". Double-neck Gibsons were rare at the time, and Jimmy's iconic playing are what made them look cool. Also, Jimmy used that EDS-1275 to play The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song, and Achilles Last Stand live. Despite what you may think, musicians rarely choose form over function. That's why you see so many guitarist playing instruments that look like they've been through World War 3.— December 31, 2011 7:46 a.m.
