  • Thanks A! Yeah these boxes are perfect for a double, they're not that great for a single neck (I've used them before) and always felt they were to square looking. Look forward to your vid!

  • Thanks John! I've always liked the way Jimmy Page's double neck looked and kinda went for that with the necks. I put the bass neck on the bottom as it just seemed more balanced to me....kinda made it bottom heavy......like myself ;-)

  • Hunh.  I like the kind of mirror image head stocks.  A nice and symmetrical touch.

  • "Sweet Maddog", used exactly the same box for my double neck build AGP #104 "Double Trouble" from some years back, Top Neck 28" Bottom Neck 25", only this week dragged it out of the shed to try and improve the sound etc, which I wasn't originally happy with, ended up with both necks tuned to DAD,  Top .56W .38W .28W, Bottom .30W .19W .14P, which I'm pretty happy with, have an upcoming Video featuring it, when I get off my Butt and get a bit more motivated to record :-)

  • Jimmy!
