Jerzy Drozd does a nice doubleneck but they're very pricey.

That double neck Fender was made for Tim Commerford. Silly Tim actually thinks that the left handed neck increases tension on the B string. Bottom neck is BEAD and the top is EADG/ DADG depending on what tunes he's playing.

I've always wanted a five neck... thing. Six string fretted bass, four string fretless bass, eight string doubled fretted bass, six string guitar, and twelve string guitar.

I dare someone to build that. Would that even be possible?

maybe mikey guitars will eliminate the need for the basic fretted/fretless double neck

Possible, if your arms are long enough! Maybe $10k, maybe 25 pounds.

he's not the only one - it's the same theory behind the through body bridge stringing.

remember, the physics says thatnothing past the end points (the nut and the bridge) matter -if- they are infinitely immobile (i.e. no vibrational energy passes through them). since this is not the case with a real world instrument, especially at the nut, some benefit may very well exist, more in the perceived rigidity (unwillingness of the string to move from side to side) than in the tension (amount of force along the length of the string). these two things are different quantities.

Gotta wonder how many of these they made:

It's a factory instrument but the market for it can't be too big... I mean just how many people need a 5-string bass, 6-string guitar and 12-string guitar in one instrument? Now how many of those need a lefty?

JUST UNDER 19 POUND INSTRUMENT...

yay, 3 instruments and a backbreaker all in one.
