And yet I'm strangely fascinated by it. I've seen previous versions of this thing with 2 necks, but this one has a double sided neck. How on earth would this work effectively? So your thumb's dragging along the opposite fretboard while you're playing the other side? How comfortable could that be, and wouldn't you need to mute the side you're not playing? SO many questions... :lol: Somebody take one for the team for $288:

No, they're two separate necks. Your thumb is in between them when you play it. Still, crazy!

Edit: or so I thought! I just watched the video in the ad, and the blue monstrosity in the video has a huge square neck with two fingerboards.

I wonder what adjusting the truss rod will be like.

Truss rod? For 4x4 lumber? lolololololo

There was a different execution of the same idea that popped up a year or two back on eBay, and it had a double neck. This one just has a railroad tie.

The only thing more Bizarre (or just more worthless) would be a left handed bass then on the flip side a right handed guitar.

The addition of strap buttons was another well thought out component. The minute you flip the guitar over, your upper horn strap would be laying across your fretboard!
