This ain't right! (pic)

Leo and Les on the same slab of wood? At least they put the Tele on top where it belongs. What do you think?

RiverDog · November 1st, 2009, 01:50 AM

I think it's kind of cool. Details?

indiobravo · November 1st, 2009, 01:03 AM

looks like an experiment gone terribly wrong - but i wouldn't mind whacking away at that for a little bit ;-)

wow, that's a really ugly guitar. Different color fretboards makes it very strange I think. If the tele part had a black headstock and rosewood board it would be much better.

Mark Davis · November 1st, 2009, 01:24 AM

I like it wonder what the weight is 20lbs?

voided3 · November 1st, 2009, 01:34 AM

I used to own a Gretsch double neck that weighed about 20 lbs. (no joke, it hurt). I intend to eventually build one for slide to have different tunings available quickly or to have one of the necks act as a sympathetic drone, but it'll get lightweight tuners and a chambered body if it ever happens. Interesting concept, but my back hurts just looking at double necks.

biker joe · November 1st, 2009, 01:35 AM

Everyone knows the good ones are all under 19 lbs.

At least it ain't all mahogany!!

Ricky D. · November 1st, 2009, 08:33 AM

I had a double neck Danelectro in the 70's. The body was made with 2x4's cut to shape for the sides, masonite top and back. Still weighed a ton, and very uncomfortable to play.

ThreeChorder · November 1st, 2009, 08:37 AM

Wow!

KevinV · November 1st, 2009, 09:09 AM

I've never been a fan of double necks in any configuration. And after getting over my love affair with everything Gibson for the pure comfort of a Tele or Strat neck, that guitar just doesn't do anything for me. Not to say it's a bad guitar, just not for me.

xjazzy · November 1st, 2009, 09:36 AM

Yes, it ain't right. It needs P-90's instead of buckers.

Bing · November 1st, 2009, 09:38 AM

sick..................I think I like it

PaisleyIsGod · November 1st, 2009, 10:25 AM

I like it, but as mentioned it must weigh a lot!

twangstick · November 1st, 2009, 10:31 AM

I'd have to play it sitting down

Cam · November 1st, 2009, 12:04 PM

I'm thinking about the movie "the Fly" .....

jkingma · November 1st, 2009, 12:21 PM

I actually like it. It looks really cool. I might have to build one.

Verne Bunsen · November 1st, 2009, 01:21 PM

I'm not a double-neck guy myself, but I can certainly see the utility in that creature. Got to appreciate the smooth fusion of the two very distinct body styles too, obviously very well thought out. I betcha Jimmy Page would have gone ape over it back in the day.

Lerb21 · November 1st, 2009, 01:25 PM

You do realize that if you leave that guitar alone that Tele will beat the living crap out of the LP?

redstringuitar · November 1st, 2009, 02:25 PM

That Tele has a nasty growth...

So did Jed, and check out these others:

openbar · November 2nd, 2009, 12:01 AM

But if you had a Tele, why would you need a Les Paul? The reverse is not true! ahhaahah

garytelecastor · November 2nd, 2009, 12:08 AM

I think it's cool.

boris bubbanov · November 2nd, 2009, 01:05 AM

It reminds me. Be very careful what color you paint a Gypsum guitar.
