I can't lokm at a doubleneck without giggling due to the images of Derek Smalls' 2 x 4 string doubleneck flashing through my mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS. Yes, I kmow, one neck was a shadow 8 string, but visually it was so funny.

It must be good for metal, it looks heavy enough. I certainly wouldn't want to play it for an hour.

Setting this up must take some time just to adjust the four truss rods.

As if the original model wasn't hideous enough... the ultimate parts bin special.

 

In it's defence though, RIC did go back to single truss rods with this one so Al might only have 2 to worry about.

Should Al find his double neck with 4 and 5 string fretted necks become too unwieldy, he could always solve this quandary by…just playing a 5 string…

Yes, I was trying to work out the benefit of this instrument 🥴

 

Except possibly to his chiropractor's profits

Who needs metal when you can have THAT for a boat anchor?

The 4 string neck is probably tuned to his usual drop C. He uses lots of open string drones so a 5 string would mean fretting all those drone notes which would be tricky.
