| | | | Double Neck Frankenstein Guitar
Ok so here is the basic idea, the client want me to take his first two guitars and make them into one double neck guitar with a 12 string on top and a six on bottom. The victims are a Stagg LP copy and a Dean "Playmate" Strat copy. These guitars are barely, if at all compatible so much of one will likely be removed or moved to a different part of the instrument.
I know this isn't a bass  but my primary instrument is bass and I mostly work on basses.
Anyway the thread will mostly be pics so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. 
Oh and please remember to bump the thread a ton if i forget to update it because I will likely have gotten something done!

Anyways some updates, but it has been cold round these parts so no painting D: 
Glued it up with titebond liquid hide glue and clamped. 
While I wait for that, I think I'll take the top off this and do some cleat placement
