Jason: Are you looking in the sun for another overload?

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time ...

Right, right. I get it, but I don't see the connection. Did GC play a double/triple neck?

Sorry Jason. Only by remote association. Galveston was a Glen Campbell tune.

Whether fact or my imagination, I believe GC did flirt with a Mosrite doubleneck at some point. The guitar you have commented on reminded me of this, useless trivia that I had stored somewhere in my brain. I would love to have a photo to validate this claim.

Oh yeah (sound of smacking own forehead)

I need to call a chiropractor just looking at that.

It looks nice, but I would have made the headstocks match.

I was at a friend's house last night and saw a picture of a Mosrite doubleneck in Vintage Guitar magazine.

Well I got it. I'm not sure what to think. It's actually quite decent. I played it at practice last night and made it all the way through our 45-minute set with only one smoke break in the middle, then kept playing for several jams/songs thereafter. Did sit towards the end though.

The tone is not half bad on the 6 & 12 necks. The 7-str pus could be changed out. The hardest thing was countering neck dive, and reaching down to play the 6 string neck. And the low B on the 7 string is a little floppy, but that's to be expected I think.

When it said Triple Neck I expected to see this!
A close older gentleman friend of mine had one just like this. Rickenbacker Console 780!

Jason, how are the strap bolts arranged on it? I'm thinking that you might be able to relocate or add one in another location to mitigate the neck dive issue.

I was going to be a joker and indicate that this would be your next purchase:

Leave it to the King to solve neck diving...

The bottom strap button is right in the middle of the bottom (as if you followed the 7-string neck all the way down).

Jason: Thanks for the review. Please let us know how long it takes you to change the strings!
