Thanks Kale! Street strings and fishing line strings have their own unique tone. I favor the fishing line, but I wanted one guitar that allowed me to cover both bases with one guitar. It is definitely taking some getting used to, but I’m having fun with it.

Wow. That's super cool. Same tuning but different string materials for a different tone.

Thanks, Doug.

That’s high praise Uncle John! Thanks.

Both heads are tuned GD same octave. Top neck has nickel wound strings and the bottom has flourocarbon fishing line strings, so there is quite a contrast in the tone of each. I have found that switching necks mid song doesn’t work for me, so I choose one at the start of a song.

Comment by Uncle John on October 2, 2023 at 5:00am

Pretty close to a TEN, Doug.  Are the two heads tuned an octave apart?

Thanks for the smiles Alan! This is my second attempt at a double neck; I didn’t really like my first one. It was big and clunky. This one feels much better, but a double neck definitely has a different feel. I’m getting used to it and I hope it will become my go to guitar, at least for a while! Time will tell.

"Yup!", every man should have a Double Neck Build, I have 2 :-) :-)

You are so right Glenn! Because of all of those variables, I’m never quite sure how a CBG will sound and I’m often surprised. That is a big part of the fun.

Thanks Warren! I plan to demo it at the Zoom meeting today. Hope you can join us.

Comment by Glenn Kaiser on October 1, 2023 at 2:24am

Agreed Doug! For me personally the cbg movement is fetching partly due to the many MANY tones from all the variations of boxes, etc., and pairing nylon & steel strings/2 necks/1 git is a super sweet idea. -Glenn
