Double Neck Build Video Part 2

im a big fan of Gone in 60 Seconds, any way heres the double neck all done

overall im very happy with the way it turned out. the 12 string plays and sounds great, this is the first 12 string ive had, so its pretty fun to play.

The pickups sound pretty good, you can really get alot of cool, usable sounds out of them. If you look on the control plate youll see another switch i added (its for switching between the necks) I would recommed installing one because if you have the 6 string on and play the 12 string you get all kinds of weird drone sounds.

The one thing i wish i did is wait longer for the paint to dry before i buffed it because the paint shrunk a little after i buffed it and it dosent look as good as when i first did it

heres some general info that i used on how to do this stuff http://www.stewmac.com/freeinfo/

Here is the template i used to cut out the headstock, this is very handy for us diy guitar builders http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fender_headstock_big.svg
If you need a gibson headstock template just type in "gibson headstock outline" and go to images, they've got alot of different headstocks so they'll prolly have what you need.

Any comments, suggestions or questions let me know, I always like getting comments and messages.

if u just got done working on a car then u could at least take a shower before touching that beautiful instrument. i would use hand sanitizer every time before i touched that thing

where did you get the wiring diagram. I'm building a double neck with two humbuckers and can't find a wiring diagram for it. Would you have one? BTW: the last clip motivates me to finish my project. Thanks.

but now u need 4 arms to play all at once!!!!

[beefcake8888]

i always wear my double neck to the bottem guitar is slightly higher than a normal one. I know it sounds weird, but it's way easier to play it like that.
