Not a Lowebow - a double neck Alibow 3 string plus 1 bass

Posted by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on September 6, 2011 at 1:52pm

Head detail. Double aluminium necks with three strings on one and a bass string on the other. Fake Cohiba box. Two piezo pickups. The designe is modular. The wooden ends can be taken out and replace with different ones giving various stringing options. The end pieces extend into the tubes and are held by the studs (you see one holding the two necks together) and by string tension.

Thank you Sir. That is truly a beautiful instrument. It isn't often that something grabs me as hard as this did.

Pure genius! That's classy and elegant. I'd like to use some of those techniques on my build if that's ok with you.

Hi Ted.

Actually they are just tubes bought from eBay – http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280300...

All the best.

Hi John.

The box was on eBay. I bought it as a genuine one, but realised once I got it that it wasn't. Thanks also for your comment on the video.

All the best.
