Hi! Thanks for the interest! I'll will post some pictures as soon as I can! I have been working on this dam guitar for 2 years, almost! I'm near to finish! Anyway that description of ernie ball 12 strings set is clearly wrong as I have bought them and they are 101 cm more or less. Also I have contacted Ernie ball via e-mail and this is the answear:

Hi! I have bought this set https://www.ernieball.it/guitar-strings/electric-guitar-strings/slinky-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings/8-12-string#P02230 and it's something like 101 cm (which is about 0,40 inches) so it's not long enough to use it in the jimmy page configuration, expecially for the D and G strings. Anyway I have installed the anchor type stop tailpieces on the EDS replica that I'm building and i Have put them at the maximum distance possible from the tune o matic considering the standard lenght of strings sets.

On the gibson webstore there is not 12 strings set for Electric guitar neither I have found a set of 12 string from gibson around the web....very strange i think

I use Elixir too on my standard Les Paul but it seem that Elixir are long 101 cm (0,40 inch) and this is not long enought to fit the Jimmy Page configuration for the EDS double neck. I'm starting to think that I would need a custom made set of strings for that.

mhm which one you suggest exactly?

The Ernie ball set that I have it's 101 cm and somethign so I think it's already 0.4 inches anyway isn't long enough to fit the jimmy page configuration because the stoptails piece is something like 10 cm behind its standard position so it's not a matter of 1 or 2 cm but it's something more. At least I'm talking about the D and G strings which are the longest needed.

Hi! First thanks for your answear! Well I suppose that I'll need also the longer D string anyway I'm actually building an EDS replica for me I'm looking at which distance put the anchors stop tailspiece, I don't know if it's the case of using the Jimmy page configuration because I will have to always buys a 12 strings set and then look for the G and D from some spare around the web. I was thinking that a ready to use set could be found somewhere. Also I don't understand one thing, Gibson do sell the Jimmy page replica, is that possible that they don't provide a proper set of strings? EDIT: I have just checked the lengh of D and G strings of my Elixir set and they are 1 meter long (which is 0.40 inch) just like the C.B. Gitty so they are not long enough too. I think that to fit the Jimmy Page scheme I'll need something like 1,15 meter more or less.

Hi there! I'm looking for a 12 strings set to be long enoughto install in the EDS-1275 which the anchros type near to border of the body like in the Jimmy Page EDS, I have bought a set of 12 strings Ernie Ball and a set of 12 string Elixir and both seem to not be long enough.
