    Outstanding, Tony got it!! I thought it would of been one of the UK-OLFer's!

    Cool looking isn't it! You should see his "Mermaid Mando" if you think this is over the top!! Holy CRAP Batman!!
    He builds for Page, Jones and other biggys! This guy's got guts!

Andy Manson

    The two pix below the first, are a quad-neck of the same 6-12-guitar/mandolin/harp/freak'in collar bone crusher!

       I think the Quad guitar is called "Stairway to D'Addario Heaven"!! Their margins went through the roof!

    Hey! Really cool double-neck Martin! Your half way there!!!

    Here's some Mo!!
    

    

    And here's, of course Jimmy doing what he does best!

    
Czech out the Mermaid! Iz Awesome!
Piece out, my brothers!!

P.S. Sorry Tony you don't get the lard! You answered with a question. That's OLF policy!!

Sorry Tony, I could lose my job!

Martin, you building yours from your own design? I always wonder about bracing in those kind of guitars.

Design.........


Hmmmmmmmm


Interesting concept.........


Well, I looked at a couple of others and then sort of just went for it!!

The bracing is probably too heavy but it'll always be played amped so that shouldn't be TOO much of a problem, and I've used bolt on necks so that if the top gets ripped off by the tension of 18 strings pulling on it, it'll be easier to rebuild the beast.

I now have one coat of Danish oil on the back & sides to show up the glue splodges. Hopefully by the weekend I'll get the chance to scrape them out and get the bridges on.

The customer is paying for it with his christmas pressie money, so I'm not in TOO much of a hurry.
