I am def thinking of adding a P90 to a neck placement on one of these. Also, one will get the Bigsby, The mahogany Jr.Yeah thanks, real nice.
Now you need to build one with a P90.
It was a cool experience for sure! I mean, this thing looks pure rock n roll, and thankfully had the tone to back it up! I got very lucky with this 1275, it was purchased with a snapped-off 12-string headstock, so I got it for an excellent price. A little glue, clamping, and sanding later and it's all good! I'mGrowing up in the '60s and having seen Jimmy Page's 1275 it was impossible not to lust after one of my own. Fortunately back then there was no way I could ever afford one, and now that I can I've had the opportunity to actually try one I realize how impractical they are. They weigh too much for me to play standing for long, and as you said, when seated the 6 string neck is way too low. The 1275 will always be supremely cool, but for what I do it doesn't do anything that a separate 6- and 12- string wouldn't do better.
Still, it must have been cool to own one...

Showing off my only Les Paul. Slash Rosso Corsa.
The one on the right looks out of place. Different father?
I've wanted to sell it a few times, though my Missus don't let me....
it was my second Epi, and IIRC the last one she had officially 'approved'....
