Well, some of those strings actually are sympathic strings, so that does not actually count.

Reminds me of that joke about the six peckered billy goat in a herd of nannies.

/Six peckers? About as useful as six necks on a guitar.

Or the Genesis video with the puppets. Can't remember the name right now.

Dork?

I will be impressed when he replicates the instrument from "Resonant Chamber" in Animusic 2.

Wow, are you sure you're compensating enough...?

/if normal compensation rules apply, that guy must have -5 penises

It's not loading for me. Does it look anything like this?

Strange.

Ooh.

Well, sir, I know Rick Nielsen, and I've watched him play HIS five-necked guitar/bass combo.

You may appear to be happy with six necks, but sir...?

You sir are NO Rick Neilsen.

(cue pic of Dan Quayle nodding, approving)

ronaprhys: Or the Genesis video with the puppets. Can't remember the name right now.

Land of Confusion. That's the ticket.

blades? razors? huh??

Outshined

I know that guitar. That's one of Pat Metheny's. What's even better - he knows what he's doing with it!

Michael Angelo Batio is not impressed (new window).

Seriously, what's the point? I can see the double-neck as it has a twelve string and a six string...handy if you're playing songs that require both at some point...but 6 necks? It's a gimmick.

How about you just get a Strat, a Tele or a LP and play the damn thing and stop trying to be "eccentric" or "that crazy guitar player". Be remembered for your actual playing, not for some weird instrument. Look at Rick Neilsen now...he's an excellent guitarist, but everyone here is basically referring to him as "that dork from Cheap Trick".

That's a pretty original name.

Pfft! This is a real guitar players axe.

Mosrite - Take off on Joe Maphis (king of the Mosrite double-neck) and Larry Collins of the Collins Kids.

That's only five necks in the picture.

Dork?

Dork?

not quite ...

Check out the history of that guitar on Deke's site.

It LOOKS like the only person who'd be able to reach the last three necks is Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four.
Yes, I'm a douche for the FF sub reference.

You, actually the closest shave I've ever gotten was with my dad's old single-blade (two-sided blades) reloadable. Of course, if you make the slightest mistake, you'll peel half your face off...

Why do I get the feeling that that metaphor extends itself to this guitar? Sure you can look special, but if you *actually* know what you're doing, all you need is one, and everything else is just posturing...

This guy might be able to play it:


But what I want is a piano with 528 keys!

The Boredoms' guitar goes up to 7.

You obviously didn't have a quality headline involving a random comparison to razors.

Looks like a job for...



Michael Angelo Batio

Here's him playing: Link (new window)

i came here for this pic, but it wasn't up yet.

you know i had to.

troppo gonzo: You don't need all those fancy necks...just one big FAT one.
The Chapman Stick...



When Rick Neilsen is not dorky enough, THE CHAPMAN STICK.

loki see loki do

When Rick Neilsen is not dorky enough, THE CHAPMAN STICK.


tell ya what.....go call Tony Levin a dork to his face

Single blades ROCK.

MAB is so Nigel Tufnel. It's hilarious. He has skills for sure but they just don't interest me at all.

And the Beast is just stupid.

The guy at my local music shop made some crazy guitar for an art show:


The Destroyer, an experimental guitar/mandolin/theremin instrument

I saw that dude play live at Great Adventure. For all of you outside of NJ, that is the Six Flags amusement park that resides in NJ. Anyway... Yeah, Rick Nielson has a lot of misc. guitars. So many to a point that he would swap guitars 6 times during one song. I think he played at least 740 guitars in that one show alone.

The only really amusing thing he brought out was a guitar named "Uncle Richard". That one was a cartoon of himself, where the dual necks were his legs. That made me chuckle.

//Got nuthin else.

fish500: Pfft! This is a real guitar players axe.

go to your room

I used to switch off between mandolin/telecaster in my old psychobilly band.

I really wanted the old Kramer doubleneck mando-tele but could never find it for sale, only found images of it online. Maybe it was Carvin that made it.

//i still want it

I'd have been more impressed if he'd tuned it properly...

Six necks? Feh.

One neck, six strings and only two working fingers.....pwns you.

just kiddin mate.
I think Rick is a hoot, at very least Cheap Trick made it okay to have fun with the 'status quo" of rock and roll at the time.
Rick and Bun E's contrast to Standard Hair Band looks was refreshin'.

and if you search for my name on the interwebs, you meet fairly renowned 'stick player(who is not me).

moralnihilist: That's only five necks in the picture.

The other one is up his ass because only a dipshiat would make something like this.

Mike Fun: The Boredoms' guitar goes up to 7.

Yes, but the Boredoms guy hits it with drumsticks instead of playing it guitar-style.

JSieverts: go call Tony Levin a dork to his face

He IS a dork, though, even though he looks kinda tuff.

Exhibit A: filming members of King Crimson playing Daytona 500 in a Tokyo arcade.
Exhibit B: the choreography for "In Your Eyes"

/I saw him play it and still couldn't figure out WTF he was doing
//6 necks? how many things can you have different?
///unless you're a clod and break strings constantly

troppo gonzo

that's a Mike Rutherford model?
/I saw The Musical Box and the bassist had one of those

I once called Tony Levin a dork. He sent Pino Palladino to beat me up.
