Foxhull Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 looks like it got moved, and that was just theoretically speaking in the first post, and you all have convinced me to stay away from anything with more than two necks, but looking at that fretless guitar...nice.

SnappleMan Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 The tonal qualities of a guitar with multiple necks is much, much poorer than normal guitars. The reason for a dual-neck guitar is to have six strings on one neck and 12 on the other. This is the only real reason to use a dual neck guitar. Almost any other sound you might want to make can be produced using effects processors and will cost a lot less than buying a triple-necked guitar.I would check out the Vox ToneLab SE before you buy a multi-necked guitar. Do you know anything about what you're talking about? The tonal properties depend on the quality of the guitar, not the shape or the number of necks. Please don't make such uninformed comments like this in the future, it upsets me. And to the dude who made this topic, getting a custom guitar like that would cost you well over $10,000 and you most likely do not have the skills necessary to wield it. Get 3 seperate guitars and you'll be happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 He's not playing the solo in that video; he's finger-synching. Or trying to, and failing miserably. True, and his band is absolute shit, but here he is playing a 2-neck custom job live, and it's pretty impressive for guitar wankery.

Dahlia Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 This isn't some super-impressive shred video, but the guitar is cool. 3 necks, one fretless, one normal, one... something else. The fretless sound is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmaster Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Playing several thousand notes per second with both hands does not in any way show actual creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments such as your's upset me. "Quality of the guitar" is only a small part of what shapes a guitar's tone. You need to do some reading of the links below and stop telling people they are uninformed and making gross generalizations and oversimplifications like you know better than them. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guitar/Anatomy_of_a_Guitar http://www.penmachine.com/musicpages/guitartone.html http://www.catalinaguitars.com/guitar_tone.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Excuse yourself, but I'm tired of writing books as responses here about guitar tone, that generalization is made from my nearly 20 years of playing, making, and working on guitars. By quality I mean everything that goes into making a guitar. So yes, good tone comes fromt he quality of the guitar. Arguing over specifics is a waste of time, as I've talked about those things in detail in the past and everyone here who's interested in guitars knows what I have to say.
