To all you EDS-1275 owners out there, Is this double neck the real deal?
Any help much appreciated as I don't no anything about these.

Looks about right to me. There have been USA and Custom Shop versions of this guitar - the USA models are generally a fair bit cheaper. Back of the headstock will tell you which it is, and serial number will tell you the year.

Mine's a dark cherry one, but looks the same as that in all other ways but colour and chrome hardware.

Looks almost like mine.

Yes. Thats the real deal... I assume it has a case... Its the wrong colour tho !

Yes it has a brown Gibson USA case

Also would it be normal for the rear cavity to be painted black at the bottom?

Here's a pic of mine. I replaced the electronics and upgraded the pickups (a tedious job!). It still needs some fretwork, but it sounds killer.
