I should be past 4080 by then!

Then shoot for the Mandolin 5002.

Yeah Dave, that's the ticket. If you take all of them, split them, you'll have 5 guitars and basses to give away as door prizes.

Guys split them all the time:

As you can see by the prices being asked, it really doesn't take away from the value. My dad always said "when you share, you have double"

I get sick, when I look at those mutilated doublenecks.

It looks like the bridge pickup on the teardrop Rick was thrown on it from across a room.

Who is he nitwit who converted a double neck into single guitars??? thats the dumbest most idiotic thing Ive ever seen!!!!![hes got to be French] somebody tell this guy whats worse then doing such butchery is admitting to it.

I Wonder what happened to the bass half of that 4080?

There's either a 4001 out there somewhere that isn't quite right....or it was sacrificed for the guitar half!

I just emailed the guy told him he was an idiot for doing such butchery and that he ought to be shot....Lets hope this moron doesn't get ahold of any others .

This is the response i got back...... The sound of the tear drop is fabulous - With the bass part of the
double-neck (which was heavy for me on stage, and not so useful
as I was expected), my inspired instrument-maker made an great 8
strings bass. I love guitars, as you do, and have respect about
them, but I love music more.

oui ,oui, you moron If this is a guitarist that is a favorite of mine,i just lost all respect for him,go out and buy some piece of **** to do your experimenting on you complete idiot.....

I heard the guy has Dave's home address. Save a bass part for me!

ken_swearingen · Post by **ken_swearingen** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 9:24 am

Naw.. this guy can sniff a Ric doubleneck from across the ocean. None are safe!
