No comment.

Do you get to try it before you buy it?
Or are you just cruisin' for a brusin'.

Actually, since a guitar like that would be pretty hard to find, and if you wanted something flashy, it might be worth a try. My estimation is that it might be almost unplayable.

[Mr.OMuck]

I was thinking of it more as a lamp base.

Watch him play and start switching necks (at 0.38 and further)



My friend Mr.Natural used to have one too - had to bite my lip when he showed it to me many years ago - he sold it and to his regrets as it became quite collectable.

Nothing will ever touch the dueling doublenecks of Xanadu.

decreed by kublai khan.  my my...  I can't believe I watched the whole thing.

[dj]

I took frankie's post as a dare and watched the whole thing too.  Ummm...  not really my cup of tea.  I think it's because the drummer didn't use enough cowbell.

did it also have this effect on you?

that has to be the only thing the drummer DIDN'T use.

[lindy]

How many of youze remember these days?

[Slack]

What is this - the torture thread?

Hmm, couldn't do the whole thing myself -- disappointed to hear about the cowbell however.

Do you suppose Mclaughlin dialed in the worst tone possible on both necks, on purpose? Nice inlay though... I think O'Muck has some tough choices for that lamp base.

And some people think guitar players hold their mouths funny... or double funny as the case may be.

Looks like I picked a bad day to give-up dropping acid.

I have a hard enough time just playing a plain old six string   

[Pan]

Well you ain't seen nothing yet.

Here's Stanley Jordan playing, not only two necks, but two whole guitars, simultaneously:



I think I will not try and transcribe this...

Do you know, it's  certainly rum, if not positively uncanny, but pretty much the same thing happened to me.

[sustaireblues]

Yeah, I've been working on that Stanley Jordan piece all evening, it's a little rough to get it all.

And I think I'll wait until tomorrow to work out that bass piece!

Frankie looks as if he's about to finish off the sod who sat on his Stella!

[uncle bud]

OK, perhaps I spoke too soon...

One would be remiss not to include the eclectic and ever-entertaining Junior Brown and his Guitsteel

Until today, I never realized that Stefan Wirz has a page dedicated to double-necks . . .

go to http://www.wirz.de/music/american.htm

and along the top you'll see links to ||| American Music ||| Tuba ||| Doubleneck guitars on LP/CD covers ||| etc. etc.

Look for the dinosaur bones, it's just below and to the left.
