Don Felder “Hotel California” EDS-1275 by Gibson
I am no Eagles fan, however, as a guitar player there is no need to deny the impact they, and especially Don Felder, had on generations of people. Again, whilst I don’t think it is their best song “Hotel California” does have one beautifully crafted solo session, mostly due to said Mr. Felder. What I have been a fan off though for a long time are double headed guitars – and Gibson just released the limited edition with only 50 aged and signed units and 100 aged units produced. The instrument is crafted in the image of Gibson’s iconic EDS-1275 Double 12 model, only around 110 of which were produced between 1962-’68, demanding a reissue in 1977, when Felder acquired his example. Aside from a potential Jimmy Page re-issue, this is a beautiful piece of work by Gibson.
