I think Dave's right. Another cool 60's 12 string carved up by a Genesis wanabee...

Seemed a good idea at the time...

Nice case...

Well, as an owner of a real 4080/12, I would much rather have the 12 string on the top. Of course, not enough to do THAT to it.

That looks like a Rickenbacker on acid, as sculpted by Picasso. I'm melting....I'm melting...

The folks at Rickenbacker probably had nothing to do with this instrument. That is just too freakin ugly.

Did this actually have a lefty bass and a righty guitar joined at the hip? Ick!

No, I think it was actually a movie staring Margot Kidder in the 80's.

The selling price was about what the 1966 450 JG would have sold for had it not been stuck to the 4001 JG adjacent to it. I hope that my doubleneck project goes better than this!

As ugly as this one is, I think someone owes the Siamese an apology ...!

For posterity's sake, here is a picture - close your eyes, quickly!
