Silverbursted Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Was flipping around in Youtube and saw a video of Slash's guitars. Among his beautiful collection of Gibsons was a Les Paul 12 String. I have done a Google search and looked in various specialized sites, but have not found one anywhere. Is this, or was this ever a model that Gibson sold to the public? Or was this a one off made for Slash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 we have done a few of these over the years, but i do not believe it has ever been a standard production model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody78 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Ah yes, I know the Slash video you are talking about Also there is that classic pic of his whole collection from the mid 90's. I'm sure I saw a Les Paul Traditional 12 string on a UK site sometime last year, so they do pop up from time to time. Talking of things with 12 strings I think Gibson should re-introduce the original EDS 1275 hollow version, oh and also the double mandolin...very cool instruments which I would love to get to try someday. PS, I love Slash's black EDS 1275's in that pic I mentioned and he does have a few nice Les Pauls, but obviously not enough!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Paul Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Here's the gibson link for the traditional LP 12 string. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-12-String.aspx Very nearly got one late last year. Just missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 If you happen to be an ES 335 guy, there's also this one: my 1968 ES 335-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pu Custom Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Several months ago a guy in my area had an absolutely stunning LP Traditional 12-string Gold Top - but he wanted WAY too much money for it . . . so, I ended up buying an early-90's Rickenbacker 360-12, for about 1/5 of the amount that he wanted.

daveg Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Dan Axelrod had a 12 string LP Custom (White) which he played on his album "New Axe". He tuned it in 3rds and 4ths so that he could get harmonised lines. Worth trying to get a copy. DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
