Double guitar "holder"

[skuzztard]

Hey, this is my first post and I searched a few times for this idea but no luck. Say you have a guitar, and you have another guitar, what if you wanted to make them a double guitar but didn't want to splice them together? Are there schematics or has someone else tried this where you could have some kinda holder thingy to make two guitars a double guitar then take the guitars apart? I'm envisioning some plastic piece to bridge the two bodies together or something. Please respond, even if you want to call me a crackpot for the idea, I would just really like to put my Casio DG-20 next to my Steinberger Spirit. Thanks!

The shapes of the bodies don't look like they would fit together well.

Duct tape or bungie cords is all I can come up unless you have some way of fabricating your "plastic holder thingy."

I don't think there is really a practical solution unless you want to use some hardware and put some holes in the guitar bodies.

Well, there are a fair number of double-necked guitars out there, of course, and a few years ago I saw stands that you could strap your acoustic guitar to- you slung your electric over to your back and stepped up to the stand-mounted acoustic to play, say, the intro to "She Talks to Angels," then played electric for the rest of the song.

If you wanted to make a holder, I would think it would work best with more traditional-shaped guitars- the holder would fit on the back of the guitars, and at the waist. That would do the best at keeping it from moving. Maybe a third "claw" that clamped at or near the strap button at the end of the body, too.

But really, why?

Hey thanks for the ideas. I liked the one about somehow connecting the strap buttons together.They could be linked with some pieces of thin wood that I could lock to the strap buttons and then take off... and a buffer of some sort between the two guitars. Thanks for the pics in the post! It puts the two bodies in perspective, but I forgot to mention that I have the strat style bodied Spirit. It's kind of an 'out there' idea that I'd like to piece together mainly because I use the DG-20 to send START/STOP messages to a Yamaha QY-70 live to play back synth along with a drummer and my guitar playing, that way I could use real guitar over some parts and digital guitar over others.

I was looking up those guitar 'playable' stands and that really seems like the only way to go. I'd put my real guitar on the stand because I use the DG-20 the most on stage and flip it behind my back. Thanks again for the replies.
