How about Rick Nielsen's 5 neck guitar?

There's a spring-loaded mandolin neck that pops out of the lower bout - that's next!! The cappucino comes out of the 7 string headstock!! Image

Chris Squire played a triple neck at the 2003 Montreaux Jazz Festival, BTW.

Who dreams this stuff up. They must have suffered horrific nightmares as a kid. The guitars on this page are butt ugly.

Gosh, Rick sure has changed...he was always good at takin' the ****, though...

Can't agree with you more, Brian.

The one on eBath is at $104.00, with only a day to go. And the guy did it with no reserve! Can you say, "Take a bath, Junior"?

Hey Guys Paul is on to something. It might be worth buying it just for parts
Now lets see:

4 sets of tuners (plus a spare) $60.00
3 Bridges $45.00
3 Sets cheapo Pups $90.00
Other assorted switches, pots and knobs $60.00

OK so why am I having trouble with this logic. Made in Taiwan? That couldnt be it.

You know it may almost be worth it. But the shame of actully buying this lump of wood and accessories I am not sure I could live with. If only I had a fireplace that burns wood. Hmmmmm

Ever heard of a barbecue, Brian? Either that or buy a doll, call it Joan and burn it! Image

In Oz, a Barbie is the Q.

That guitar bears a strong resemblance to a "Pearl River" thrasher guitar that I bought exactly for parts on eBay for $38.00 last year. It had a nice set of black powdercoated Schaller mini replicas, a ditto real Floyd Rose, two active hummers with coil taps, one single coil active, string locks, 5-way Strat switch, OK neck, etc., etc. All made in China. Doesn't play half bad once the strings are upgraded...not sophisticado like a Rick, but OK for bangin' around; and I'm doing a black Tele anyway...so it'll give up its parts soon.

The coolest thing about this triple is the parts. Buy two of these and glue them together. Raise the nuts on all 6 necks, put legs on the bottom, and you have a coffeetable on which SIX people can play slide simultaneously in one big circular motion destined to take the place of the mudshark in your mythology!!!

A whole lotta fun for $300.00.

By Jove, Jingle Jangle, you've done it again! With plenty of room in the center for a hubbly-bubbly with 6 replica '50's era cloth 'appliance cord' hoses!

Your product's in turnaround...

Now all we gotta do is design a cool amplifier with 6 channels.

I like how the case is extra. Like how many buyers are going to have a THREE-NECKED guitar case lying around for just this guitar. Instead of a gig bag, you could use a child's sleeping bag! Anyways, the table idea was already done... with Rick Neilson's guitar. Actually, since you mentioned that you probably knew it, but when his was stolen it was turned into a table!
