Those Music Man double necks are so killer! The 8 tuning pegs across the top for the 12 string is simply sinister looking!

John Paul Jones used a triple neck instrument in the Zep days

I never knew that. Is there a picture of him on this instrument?

...great picture of Mike. I have never seen him use a double neck!!

Mike's been playing a double-neck in Genesis since about 1970

 

pretty much ever picture of Mike from 1970-1983 has one slung around his neck (and most of them from 1983-2007)

 

where you been, man???

 

he's played some sweet double-necks (especially the Rick's):

PremierGuitar Magazine had an article on this awhile back:

 

Those Daring Young Men and Their Doubleneck Guitars: A Brief History of Multi-Neck Players

 

Eric Johnson posed with a Gibson double neck on the cover of GuitarOne magazine here.

 

In the PremierGuitar interview with Alex Lifeson here, he gave his Gibson EDS-1275 to Eric Johnson as a gift but was later stolen by a roadie.

There's a Canadian musician named Jerry Doucette (known as Doucette), who's known for his 1977 hit song 'Mama Let Him Play'.

At the time, Doucette played a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck.

 

Other fellow Canadian double neck users (besides Alex Lifeson) include Rik Emmett of Triumph, Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar, and David Barrett of The David Barrett Trio.

Guys,

 

I was watching this cool "LOVE" documentary last night called "Love Story." It was great. Anyway I noticed some black and white film footage of Johnny Echols playing on a double neck guitar.

 

Who was the first guitar player to use such an incredible instrument? Was it Johnny?

 

Who else plays the double neck besides these obvious guitar players listed below:

 

 

 

Jimmy Page

Alex Lifeson

Steve Howe

Steve Hackett

Steve Vai

Claudio Sanchez

 

I'll give some more love to Geddy as well for playing the double neck bass. Incredible.

Davie Allan [from Davie Allan & The Arrows] who did "Blues Theme" from the movie "The Wild Angels" I remembered that song from the first time I heard it on my Parent's FM radio in their bedroom in '66. I finally got that tune in 2011 on a compilation album of His I found. Vr0kWrW.jpg
