Anybody ever heard anything about these? Go ahead and laugh, but it says "the dog" all over it.

You kill me, P Macky. Well, I guess I'll be posting my opinions... just pulled the trigger. I got big problems!

Triple, parallel necks. Sheer aesthetic stupidity.

Does it come with a hernia belt?

That wood grain is something else, though. Kinda puts PRS to shame, huh?

You SHOT the poor thing, Jdog? Guts, man!

Killer..could modify it and turn it into a pedal steel..looks pretty!

With the way the tuning keys are mounted, they should have put the 12-string neck in the middle. Then it would be classy!

All the "little" things made it seem like a decent value. Sealed tuners, the top, all the switches. Maybe not the same tone, but more versatile than my 4080... if you don't count the bass thing...

make it a five neck and add a 5 string bass and a fretless bass neck ... or an 8 string neck ... or a 10 string neck ... or a 4 string neck ...

OK, OK. It's the Dog's dinner.

I love the figured wood grain.... but wow, that sure is weird-looking....! I'd have to agree with the others that it looks like it would get really heavy in a very short time of playing.

George is on the right track; pedal steel.

Steel is not a bad idea... but bass would be great. My dream multi-neck would have to be an 8-string bass, a 5-string fretless bass, a 6-string guitar with Bigsby, a 12-string, and a... mandolin! Yeah!

Jdog - invest $10,000 in a high yield mutual fund and the gains migh keep you in strings!!

Now that you have our attention, post your impressions when you get it.

Will do, gator. The dang thing is in Cape Coral, so it shouldn't take too long. I expect something similar to the Epiphone G-1275 doubleneck. Had one once, it was pretty decent if you bought it new for $600 instead of the grand they sometimes asked. Seems like between the mid 90's and recent years the price of new G1275's ranged wildly between $500 and $1000, and in varying directions.
