DN12-6

The basic remit for the DN12-6 was to build a double neck guitar that would stand out from the crowd but carry certain themes and attributes from the customer's (Huw's) much loved LP Standard.

Huw had owned a Gibson EDS1275 but couldn't get on with the lack of balance and the poor access to the upper frets. Being a Les Paul fan he contacted me to make his dream guitar; a double neck that would compliment his LP but stand out as custom guitar in its own right.

The necks are mahogany, maple and walnut composites with 22 fret book-matched flame maple fingerboards. The mahogany body has the same maple and walnut stripe to carry the theme through from the necks and has an 18mm hand carved maple cap. Machine heads are Gotoh, bridges by ABM.

The pickups on the twelve string side are Bare Knuckle "Stormy Mondays" and Gibson Burstbuckers on the six string side. The twelve string side of the body is chambered to give a lighter more acoustic sound but the "Stormy Mondays" still sound absolutely orchestral.
