Halo Content: Double Neck 8??

[crg123]

Halo Custom Guitars: If you could choose anyone to play this guitar with you, who would you pick (dead or alive), what song would you guys play

Just saw this on facebook when I was looking at their page (I'm not on their friend's list but it popped up as a suggested page). I thought it would spark some conversation here haha... its like a MAB guitar on steroids...

 

[WaffleTheEpic]

I'm sure Sean12345678901337 and I could manage this. He IS a lefty...

 

[Sean1242]

Waffle and I need to play that together in our lifetimes

 

[jeleopard]

Tosin Abasi.

(Shit Djent Kids Say reference, anyone?)

 

[TRENCHLORD]

Wild freaky body-design. Would love to have A six like that.

 

[Francis978]

That's quite the guitar, whole lot to love

 

[noUser01]

Oh no. Oh god no.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Batio called, he wants his gimmick back.

Hate to h8 on Batio though, he seems like a really cool dude.

I'd let Malmsteen go at it, drop my end, and pick up that 10 string lefty in the background. And I would not restring it righty.

 

[Francis978]

I wonder how much that monster weighs...definitely wouldn't do wonders for the back

 

[stuglue]

80's guitars, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times

 

[DaddleCecapitation]

[shawnperolis]

I will play it... poorly.

 

[Alice AKW]

You can djent two sets of open strings at once!

 

[Splinterhead]

Let's see the case

 

[Halogran]

Let's see the case

I was thinkin' the same thing. Also, what about the one in the background, I think it's got like 23 strings!

 

[The Munk]

Let's see the case

The case was custom made for it. It's not much larger than any hardshell double neck case other than that it was a flight case, so it's much heavier duty, thicker, and with extra padding.

The guitar is really two instruments in one. Each half has a stainless steel rod embedded in it that aligns with a corresponding hole on the opposing half. This keeps them lined up nice and solid. They lock together with a recessed, heavy duty, butterfly latch on the back.

When separated, they fit into the case with headstocks pointing in opposite directions. Nice and compact.

That one was built quite a while ago, so forgive me for not having specs handy.

I remember this, it was actually made for Sonny Lombardozi, who is apparently the only other peoson in the world who can pull off the MAB playing.

I think that's a stretch at best. Only other person crazy enough to play that double-neck arrangement maybe. There's plenty of examples of guitarists tapping on two guitars with the second one set up on a stand... and when you think about it, it's really no different than Stick playing aside from the arrangement of the strings (and the weight ).

That said, holy hell! I like the way the body's set up to split in two for transport, great idea there. Wonder if the MAB double/quad-necks are set up the same way?
