The Gibson EDS-1275 is the doubleneck model forever associated with Jimmy Page, who used one to play both the six-string and twelve-string parts of Stairway to Heaven live without switching instruments mid-song, most famously captured in Led Zeppelin's concert film footage. Combining a six-string neck and a twelve-string neck on one solid mahogany body, each with its own set of humbuckers and a selector to choose which neck is active, it let Page cover a song's full arrangement solo on stage in a way no single guitar could. Gibson has periodically reissued the EDS-1275 in Page's honor, and the model remains inseparable from Led Zeppelin's most iconic song and Page's reputation for pushing what a single guitarist could do live.
Angus Young's modified 1970s Gibson SG Custom is best remembered from AC/DC's 1979 Hammersmith Odeon concert during the Highway to Hell tour, and continued to see occasional use into the 1980 Back in Black tour, most likely acquired during a 1978 US visit. According to his guitar tech, the guitar originally shipped in a walnut finish with three pickups and a tremolo unit, a spec distinct from the two-pickup SG Standard, in walnut with a Lyre Maestro tremolo, that had been Young's very first guitar and his main studio instrument on AC/DC's earliest albums. Together the two guitars mark different points in Young's early rig: the Standard for foundational studio work, the Custom for a specific, well-documented stretch of high-profile live shows during one of the band's most pivotal touring periods.
