Rich, You seem to understand the very core. If you can't fix it with duct tape, it can't be fixed!

Good stuff. I like the new format. Nice pics.

Thanks, Markku!
I made this in 2009 as a joke, after attending a great Jr. Brown show with my friend and mentor Rob Girdis (RIP). As you might imagine, he was very impressed with how I used the exacting lutherie skills he had shared with me.

Hi. I was projecting my own double-neck guitar. Although this topic doesn't shed much light in my investigation (since I have not the real thing to figure out the specs), I've been lurking here and there to get ideas... So far, it seems double-headed people doesn't like very much the Gibson 1275 design (the one first came to my head), telling it's clumsy, heavy and badly thought out, because the neck to body joint is made almost at the 12 fret, making it very impractical for playing upper notes (especially the 6 string). My second winner, the Rickenbacker, doesn't seem to arise a lot of simpathy, either. You hear things like 'If a single Rick wasn't bad enough, go figure with a double one' or 'No repair person in the world take Ricks seriously- nor players, for that matter'.
I have not played, nor see 'in person' those guitars, so I don't know if there is truth or myth in those quotes.
The other thing I was looking, apart from the design, was the hardware. It was appealing to have an 'acoustic' choice for the 12 string to make it more versatile, but it seems there are no 12-tring bridges which sport piezo saddles (something like Graphtech's Ghost...). The only 'hybrid' bridges I've found so far are meant for 6-string. Any idea?

Hi David, ABM-Mueller have a 12-string electric bridge with inbuilt piezo.
