Who.. Huh?.. What? Les Paul / 4001 Doubleneck?

[Tarrbot]

OK, so I was browsing google for some information and came across reference to a Gibson Les Paul spliced to a 4001.

I thought, "No Flugelheim'n way. That's got to be some sort of misprint."

Oddly enough, it's not a misprint.

So, what I've found out was that Heinz Fröhling of the German band Schicke Führs Fröhling (or SFF for short) from the late 70s had this bass / guitar monstrosity.

Apparently, on the SFF website a fan makes reference to this thing and also there's a pic of it--but it's in very low detail and B&W.

Does anyone have any info on this instrument or anything similar to this instrument? Like an SG / 360 combo, a Tele / 4001 combo or something?

That's the worst Frankenstein I've ever laid eyes on. Thank God the pic is tiny.

I'll take the mellotron instead.

That must have been invented by a chiropractor that needed to increase business.

For the 70's this would have been pretty cool IMHO. Of course, today, it looks a little ridiculous, since 4080's are so easy to come by.

Well, he is sitting down... and for good reason!

I'm pretty sure he can't see them either.

He'd feel 'em if he dropped that thing on 'em...
