Troy says he is going to make a double neck Jazzmaster guitar . That would be wild.

Talented guy, I wonder where he gets all the time from... in all those bands and a dab hand at carpentry

Wow, really interesting. Thanks for sharing. "I'm not really into vitage gear...I use what works." <- quite a refreshing thing to hear from a pro-level player. I suddenly have an urge to try out an AC30 now...

FWIW, I quite like the first APC album...Mer de Noms, wasn't it? So much for my not knowing who he was...I've been listening to his playing for years without realising! *headdesk*

That'll strengthen the core muscles... it must weight about a tonne.

I love it...the color, the tort, bound neck, the headstock. Not into trem, so that's no issue for me. So, how much in USDs?

Cheers,
Doug

I believe it's MIM, so a safe bet would be $899 at the most.

when i was a kid i thought double necks were cool. now.... they seem like toys or just oddly mishapen, with that said, i still have the image of page with the double neck and its still "cool" in my mind

Dawsons and GuitarGuitar are listing it at £993 and £994 respectively so I'm guessing other places like GAK will follow suit.

Considering how I like the look and specs of this version even more than the current 196x RIs I know which one I'd want to try out.

That thing is a cp with a matching headstock. Seems real unfair to add £250 for that and a different 2 way switch
