Passing an acoustic double neck flying V on the way!

 

Whhooooooaaahh...

 

I can picture Noddy Holder with something like that :) Or maybe Dave Hill. :D

 

Actually, looks like that guy has done some nice stuff - even if Vees aren't to my taste.

 

I'm sorely tempted to buy a vee if i found one for silly cheap..... always hated tham til i had a go with Jimi's black angel, and i got the bug a tiny bit....

i never seen one before from anybody


i would love to have the ovation 12/6 string doubleneck guitar.


and also a lefthanded version of the double neck gibson sg electric would be great, but i guess they never will build those, even for a price we would not be able to pay in our dreams
:(

I believe laraviee has a twelve string acoustic lefty. He is actually a lefty and does not charge extra for lefties. I own one of his acoustics. Great guitar.

Hey guys,

 

Thought I'd let you know that I've put two of my custom/customized lefties up on Ebay.

 

One is a 2-year old Fouke Industrial Guitar, with an aluminum body, a mahogany/ebony neck, and comes with an external 13-pin hex pickup as well:

The other is a 1998 lefty Fernandes Native, customized with a sustainer system, RMC piezo/13-pin MIDI system, Tony Iommi humbucker, and mirror pickguard:

Its time they found homes in which they'll get more play than here! :)

 

Thanks,

Orren

i have one and I am thinking about selling it. It is in perfect condition. I have 20 guitars and I need to thin the heard. The guitar is fantastic. Great tone, well built and looks fantastic. Let me know if you are interested. You can save some $$ and avoid the 6 month wait. Let me know if you are interested.

I really just haven't played it much. It is a great guitar, don't get me wrong. I just have so many of them that it makes more sense to sell it to someone who would put it to use. It is in my guitar closet right now. I keep the humidity uner contol in there for that reason.

BTW, why do you want to sell it (instead of another, since you have to reduce the flock) ?

here's a guitar i got on ebay today. it was advertised as a squire stratocaster. and the pics weren't very good. but the neck looked like it said something else than squier. so for $85 shipped to my door, i took a chance. it was missing the tuners on the headstock. thats ok because i had a set of fender tuners in the drawer.

 

when i got the guitar, it was actually 2 boxes. the guy took the neck off and sent them seperately. to my amazement, the guitar was a mexican strat. it was reliced, but had a major mojo look to it. a kind of guitar you wouldnt want to be affraid of playing. i put the tuners on it and strung it up. this thing plays like butter. the lowest action of any guitar i have ever played. i have to raise the action just so i will feel comfortable. this is far from being a squier.

oh yeah, also i am waiting on a mint 2003 Gretsch G6120LH to arrive this thursday. i've had two other Gretsches and both were a GREAT guitar. a 6120-60 and a Tennessee Rose. i had to sell both because i needed furniture for the new home we bought. but i knew one day i'd get another.

 

UPDATE...Here it is. she is spotless and i cant knock her out of tune with the bigsby if i tried. i put a set of flat chromes on her and a little nut sauce on the nut. she's one hot momma!!!!

When I first started to take lessons, the teacher asked me which way felt best and righty did, so I've always been that way. I still think that if I would have learned to play as a lefty, I'd be a better player, but that is maybe wishful thinking :D

 

I write left handed, throw left handed, eat left handed, and bowl left handed.

 

I use right handed scissors and play guitar right handed though!
