There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Geddy model...Best of both worlds for any guitarist. Bass and Guitar in one!!!
STOP, too many guitars!!
Yes I was lucky enough to be at Adams Saturday for a photo shoot and he told me about the twin neck SG, so as soon as I got home I ordered it, got an email it was with Australia post yesterday so should arrive by tomorrow, I'll give you the report then and take a mock build pic, this baby will be going in the build diaries, and with any luck DB will have aramanthine in his hands Friday and I'll be finishing it in purple !
I've already thought of how to make a jig mount to hold the body in the vice !

Saw the pics, cool.
It's a 3-switch Epiphone model, but no split inlays on the neck - so us cloners will have some work to do if we want a full replica.
None the less, very excited.
Hi Ray,
yes not too worried about an epiphone model with no split inlays
trying to find a wiring diagram, its going to be a monster job wiring this up !

If you are keeping it as a 3-switch then;
- The 12-string (upper) and 6-string (lower) are both independently wired, using one Tone and Volume each.
- SW-3, the rear-most switch directly below the 12-string, then selects which of them goes to the output.
- SW-3 is mutually exclusive, allowing only 12 or 6 to be selected.
I believe that the Tone Cap. may be different on the upper cct., however I am not sure.
cheers Ray, sure once I get a decent wiring diagram and follow it, it won't be too hard, must be around 40 - 50 soldering joints based on about 20 - 25 for a standard SG so might need a pallet of solder !
You seem to know a fair bit about these guitars, ever played one ?
