Hurm...it's been a good few seconds since my last post and nobody has sent me a dragon guitar yet. Well, screw the lot of you then.

doesn't warmoth already make a double neck guitar thats a combination of a strat and a tele?
cause it seems to me that even that idea that originally seemed to have the slightest bit of thought put in is just a rip-off. how dissapointing.

IMO, they're all a bit lame.

yeah ...

IMO, they're all a bit lame.

i'll go with that ...someone ought to start up a thread here where you post a design and we wouldn't have to wait for a magazine to show it ...for the record i like the spider guitar just for novelty its kinda like Neilsens 5 string the bottom necks are totally unplayable but it looks cool to me ...i dig the stratelcaster too IF you could get both strat and tele sounds but when you think about it aren't all dbl necks a lil excessive, i have one and it's cool to play but i never take it anywhere....

That spider thing would HURT to play. Too many pointy things right where it hits your body. Yuck.


You know, I've spent a great deal of time doing this kind of stuff, and those all just look amateurish. That is the kind of shit that happens when luthiers start trying to be "artists." I ain't no fucking "artist." I am a craftsman. Sure it needs to look good, but first and foremost it has to be functional. None of those qualify.

But hey, what do I know. This is just how I try and make my living (emphasis on try, unfortunately).

I'm no luthier, but that was the same thought I had when I saw the spider design. Cool, but ouch.
