I might be interested if the guitar neck was a "rhythm" guitar and not "lead."

Maybe they mean it’s as heavy as “lead” ? :lol:

I'm guessing that thing weighs at least 15lbs.

Maybe somebody can answer this, but why is nearly every double neck guitar/bass combos I've seen always put the bass on top? If I had my choice, I'd want the guitar on top, as I tend to strap mine higher than my bass anyway.

Maybe to keep the balance as the bass neck is more mass and longer if it were on the bottom there would be a tendency for the neck to want to dip down

That actually looks incredibly ergonomic for a double neck. I agree, this makes more sense; you can stretch out your arm for a comfortable straight wrist plucking position on bass, and curl your arm for efficient strumming motion on guitar.

It's a shame I never learned how to play guitar, because for this price, and including the Roland midi setup, this price is just too good to not think about jumping on! Just to hang it on the wall as a conversation piece is almost worth the price.... :)

One thing that's always irked me about these bass/guitar double neck combos is the majority of them have a single output jack. :x How many people run their bass and guitar through the same amp? Nobody I know.
