This super double-neck belonged to Peter DiStefano of Porno For Pyros and comes complete with a letter of authenticity which reads: "Hi David, The EDS-275 that you bought from me was purchased for me right before Woodstock 1994. It was from my guitar tech & I think he got it from N.Y. Gibson. Dave Lee then put Seymore (sic) Duncan DDP pickups on the six string (very strong). This gave the guitar exactly the sound that I needed. I used this guitar in many concerts with Porno For Pyros including Woodstock in 1994. Enjoy David. Peter DiStefano"

"On the SG-styled double necks, and unlike the thinline models, the two necks share the same individual volume and tone controls and pickup selector switch…Notwithstanding the change of body style, double necks remained built to custom order only. Mid-60s catalogs indicate that they dould be ordered with 'your own choice of double neck equipment'. In other words, any neck combination was possible" (A.R. Duchossoir, Gibson Electrics -- The Classic Years, p. 196).
