Hey guys, I'm wondering what you guys think of this product? Do you think
there is a real market for this kind of guitar? Would you buy something
like this? What do you think you would be willing to pay if the quality
was good?

Thanks for your opinions in advance.

Unfortunately the weight and size will limit your market a lot. Plus twice
as many strings to change. There is currently a digital modeling guitar
out there that does Telecaster/Strat/Les Paul with a single knob. To me
that is much more desireable.

I would tend to agree. There's even one that will switch
tunings for you wht the flip of a modeling switch (I think it's
the Fender Strat version, IIRC). Yep, only reason to have a
doubleneck onstage these days would be for the visual thang.

I'm sure some guitarists will think it's great. I don't know how big
that market might be.

I think double necked guitars are awkward and I doubt I'll ever get one.

I get a wide range of tones out of my PRS, with just one neck. Parker
Fly, some Ibanez models and Carvins, even a fat strat can cover a lot of
tonal ground without the extra weight and hassles of a double neck
instrument.

I can get an even wider range of tones with my Variax, and instant
alternate tunings. Roland has their VG line that works with any guitar
with a hex pickup to provide that sort of thing as well. I like the
Variax better than Rolands earlier models, overall, but I haven't heard
Roland's latest VG99 which is still, I think, about to ship.

Cheers,

In the history of guitar retail, there has never been any thing close to the
market of single neck guitars. Not gonna change IMO. Double's make great
pictures and shoulder injuries and that's about it.

LOL! Maybe the money behind this new line is a group of
chiropractors.

I don't know about the guitar, but the name sounds like something that might
need to be treated with penicillin.

A friend of mine (and my former engineering mentor when I was just geting
started with this stuff) works with him a lot. I sat in on a couple of JB
sessions a while back.

Us guitar players are such slaves to tradition that things like this, even
when brilliantly conceived and well executed, tend to fall on their butts.
Most guys who find the need for both Tele and LP sounds revel in the coolness
of having two or three or more guitars onstage and (if their really cool)
a guitar tech to hand the right guitar, perfectly in tune) to them at the
right moment. Guys like me (journeyman hacks) tend to favor one guitar with
trick wiring that can emulate both sounds. More open-minded guys find the
solution in the Roland and Line 6 modeling systems. I have a PRS (w/ trick
wiring, but not so much for Tele sounds) and a very nice Tele clone and I
have been known to take both to gigs. I'm getting too old to carry all that
gear around (I also drag a tube amp and 2-12 cabinet around a lot of the
time) but I don't play often these days and I just like playing my guitars!

Another problem w/ the 2 neck idea for me: The right and left hand geometry
is pretty critical for me to play my best 9such as it is) and the 2 neck
idea forces the player to choose between having one right and the other too
high or low or compromising on and in between height. I woudn't want to
deal with that. It also looks to heavy for me...

James,

I just stopped hurling!

Seriously, some might find it interesting. Personally, I find that most of
the songs that I play are suited to either a single coil, humbucker, or P90-style
pickup. Consequently, I take a strat/tele, my PRS Soapbar II, and some type
of humbucker-equipped axe (LP, SG, ES-335, etc.) with me to every gig.

My $ .02!
