Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 One of the major problem for doubleneck acoustic instruments is the amount of tension the 18 strings create on the top of the guitar, thus necessitating the use of laminate instead of solid woods. Even then doublenecks are prone to tension related issues. So my idea is (drum roll)...make a doubleneck acoustic out of carbon fiber. That would resolve the issues that string tension makes on the body, and since you wouldn't have to overbuild the guitar as much I believe a carbon fiber doubleneck would sound better than its wooden counterparts. Plus it would look completely awesome and have the advantages of being unaffected by temperature or humidity. Of course doublenecks and carbon fiber guitars are both niche markets, and the number of people interested in a carbon fiber doubleneck would be even less, not to mention such an instrument wouldn't be cheap. But I think the idea has merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's EXACTLY what I was just about to say. Just another argument supporting the old adage......"Intelligent minds think alike"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guildfire Posted September 17, 2010 Members Share Posted September 17, 2010 Not a bad idea, but the cost could be prohibitive considering the narrow market for that type of guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in school for marketing, so that's exactly what I was thinking. It'd almost have to be made on a per order basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
