nice. looks like a fine choice, what finish are you shooting to get?

let us know how it turns out

(the only thing that makes me cringe more than a led zep double neck is a home made double neck haha)

ugh that sounds so bad!

Im thinking either the black (to fit in with my other guitars) or the cherry red
need to figure out the finance though

cherry red is an great finish, but I haven't seen much black finished on 12-strings? ...or is that just me?

Nah. A guy on the megadeth forums took two of these Douglas Fulcrum Black at HomeOld

and bolted them together to make a double neck 6 string/10 string V

It looked pretty sweet. He took em down to the bare wood and tung oiled them and it was ****ing cool looking.

Cherry red! And you have to show us the finished choice when you get the finances sorted. Sweet.

hahaha I will but it may take a fair while (im currently heavily in debt due to current guitar repairs, pyramid festival tickets, a tram fine and schoolies accomodation) and of course I have no job as a student/writer/musician haha.

I'd avoid the danelectro tbh. The bodies are made of masonite and plywood...

Fender make a Stratocaster XII though, and if anyone knows 12 string electric jangle its gonna be them.
.:: Fender®.com ::.

And schecter make the stargazer 12 and SCH12 (The SCH12 is semi hollow btw, it'd be my choice if I were going for a 12 electric. Semi hollow electrics sound SWEET and 12 strings are awesome...combine the 2 and I'm guassing things get wicked.)

Schecter Stargazer 12-String Electric Guitar - arbiter.co.uk
Acclaim Sound & Lighting*::*Musical Instruments*::*Guitars - Electric 7 String+ Left Hand*::*Schecter SCH12 12 String Electric Guitar

(I'd link to their normal website, but my computer won't access it for some reason. Google schecter guitar research)

Just, imo, danelectro aren't going to be the best guitars for the money...they have a lot of kitsch value, but at the end of the day, they're still made of plywood, and the pickups still can't be adjusted for different heights

You're going to Pyramid? I am so, so jealous. I almost, ALMOST got tickets but then a work commitment over the summer stopped me. Gah! *more jealousy*
