Head detail. Double aluminium necks with three strings on one and a bass string on the other. Fake Cohiba box. Two piezo pickups. The designe is modular.

The end pieces extend into the tubes and are held by the studs (you see one holding the two necks together) and by string tension.

Pure genius! That's classy and elegant. I'd like to use some of those techniques on my build if that's ok with you.

Hi John.
The box was on eBay. I bought it as a genuine one, but realised once I got it that it wasn't. Thanks also for your comment on the video.
All the best.
