I never much wanted a double neck guitar. Sorry, double neck fans, they seem too flashy and 'look at me' for an intermediate level player like me.
But..... I use 2 tunings: GDg and DGB. Between the two, I can do a lot and produce different styles and tones. But to change things up, I am too often changing guitars.
What if I made a 2 banger? Would I feel like a pretender? Would they/ it play well? Would my whole life be better?

I'm in the finishing stages of my first double myself. I am setting one up as a 4 string reso and the other a simple 3 string. I do understand the versatility of it all and I am building it for a real guitarist so I will see what he thinks of the whole thing from design to functionality. I'll keep you posted uncle John.
Go for it John, you just will have to learn how to do that mid song jump into the air with your heels up and your head tossed back> Really tight jeans seem to help with this move!!!
BUt seriously, it sounds like a good way to reduce how much gear you have to haul and also save time between tunings, just use the other neck. Now I want to try one too..............
Guys,
Please, when you build show them to us and critique them a bit. I think I MAY do one this late spring or summer. I know what I want to try for necks. Just don't have a box that seems right.
That home made highway 61 sign box would have been good. Just picked it up - not enough space to add a second neck. I have a pretty decent old gas can that would make a good relic double.
A gas can relic double? What say ye?
make sure it's empty first!!!
Clock, I am a little apprehensive about the first cut or drill into that old gas can. It's been empty a long time but still smells like gasoline.
Good idea. I will at least go look at his photos.
Double neck guitars? > Kid stuff!
When ya' wanna get serious...
(Sorry... didn't bookmark, and now can't find, where I discovered this photo or I'd credit/link it.)
