Roger Hodgson’s EDS 1275

[Ivan May]

During the Breakfast In America and Famous Last Words tours, Roger Hodgson played a white Gibson EDS 1275 on the songs Asylum and From Now On. It was allegedly used to replace one of the Guild 12 string acoustic guitars and Fender Electric XII that Roger had stolen on tour in 1976.

 

 

 

No clue as to when this EDS 1275 came out, though it looks to be a Norlin copy. Not much else is known about this guitar, but I assume Roger still has it. He also played modified Fender Stratocasters, and a sunburst Gibson Les Paul. On Crime Of The Century and Crisis? What Crisis? Roger used Marshall for his guitars before switching to Music Man HD 212 amps.

 

 I hope you guys enjoy Roger Hodgson playing a double neck guitar.
