EDS-1275 100th Anniversary Edition

The EDS-1275 100th Anniversary Edition was part of Gibson's 100th anniversary series released in 1994, with a different guitar featured each month, limited to 100 units each. Numbering was sequential from 1894-1994 in celebration of Gibson's Centennial Anniversary. For example, 1894 -7 would denote the first example made in that month's series.  The 7 represents May, the month it was released, because two months were skipped, so the numbers go up to 14 instead of 12.
