    There's nothing to stop you putting the necks on the other way round.

    You may as well. I've never found any lightweight ABS cases for oversized guitars, they all seem to be wooden.

    I’m taking the 12 string neck off and trying to get it to sit better. The rounded corners need re shaping to allow the end to sit flush. And was angling slightly forward.

    Did some filing to round the corners to get that perfect fit.

    Some final adjustments and some good strings and I'm so happy with the result of my build. It plays like an SG, quite thick neck, chunky. The 2 necks put the weight balance a bit off and I find I'm holding the neck up as I'm playing. I'm sure it's the same with all twin neck guitars and it takes a bit to get used to. The 3 way switches are slightly big for my mind, they stick out lots and you have to be precise with your strumming or you'll hit a switch. Again something you get used to. The pickups are quite good and I'll keep them for sure, high signal and pretty clean.
    I am building a case from a DIY site, instructables.
    I'll put some pics up soon.

    Case coming along good. Thinking of staining and clear coat danish oil on outside to match guitar. Black velvet on inside.

    Always a compromise between strength and weight with a case like that. Looking good.

    The guitar came up great!

    Also I inherited an armchair exactly like yours from my grandad. It's in my sons room and he thinks he's very fancy, ha ha
