richardpavelec Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 anyone want to comment? Warmoth offers a double-neck strat body and pick-guard. China offers a trippleneck jem body and pick-guard. I Might even cut the body horns to form a compact, stick body. Top line components could be added, after a self applied tung oil finish. I Play two different tunings, equally. I may build this. With top notch parts, pricing would be under $1500 I was thinking two Moses graphite necks. I need bridges that are fixed, come with piezos and ars spaced like acoustics. Comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Let's quote Yngvie Malmsteen "how can less be more? More is always more!" If you think you will have use for three necks, why not. However consider the weight. I built the double neck that is competing in the (C'mon vote. Scott has built a truly amazing guitar for this months competition). My double neck is very reasonable in weight, only 4.9 kg due to some conscious design decisions like body thickness, body and ned material, tuner size etc. That is not really possible with ready made parts. As an example a SG double neck can clock in at over 11 kg. Add a third neck and you might end up with a truly backbreaking guitar. My other though is that if you are planing on buying the necks and chop away at the body, why not build the body from scratch. That way you can come up with something truly original.
