If this wasn't orange I would be all over it. Gotta love the excess.

just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should.

$1750 BIN

I think these kind of instruments should always include the total weight.....kinda like to know if I'm hefting 20# or 40# on my shoulder/back.

If you look down below, you see that they have a slightly more plausable three neck version as well.

Still don't get it.

Saw that comming, from way down here. Muzza, you need to compile all the banjo jokes into a book. I'm sure it would sell. :D

Hmmm, one instrument.
Five guys to fret the neck.
One to strum.
One to fingerpick.
One to pick leads.

Add one drummer and we got us a band!

Strip it down and you'd end up with an instant parts house. Imagine playing the bottom neck and doing vocals . . . you'd have to look through the upper necks.

4 six strings = 24, plus a 12 string = 36.

I wonder who has an arm long enough to reach all the way down to the controls.

You guys are looking at this wrong. Four well placed bank saw cuts and you have 5 orange guitars to put back on ebay.

I've been emailing the seller on the doubleneck Gretsch...don't have that much unspoken for cash right now.
His price is about a two grand less than the msrp of a new one. Man, I hate these doubleneck GAS pains... :)

Tim,
Ibanez 2640 in mint condition from '78/79.

Would look great by the Ovation Doubleneck in Hawaii!

My guess is that it is equivelant to an SG doubleneck.....11-14#s ????

I'd weigh it but it hurts my back just to think about lifting it up :D

Now if I was 25 years younger or an in good shape like the men in our military, it wouldn't be a problem ;)
