Maxtone Guitars, anyone?

Post by pjmuck »

Anybody own a Maxtone? This guy's a Shanghai, China builder who sells on ebay, most notable for oddball configurations like 7 string basses, double and triple necks, etc. He will make any model he offers left handed for the same price as righties. I'm interested because I've been assembling a set of one man performances using my combination of Roland GK midi equipped guitars and basses with my Dr. Rhythm drum machine and Digitech looper pedal and would love a Steinberger style double neck guitar/bass like this one:

No, I'm not expecting some high quality build, but the price is cheap and if his products are acceptable I'm willing to upgrade pickups, hardware, etc. to get where I need to go:

I've seen his work before, he's been off Ebay for a while and made his (their?) own website which was a mess. Anyhow, i've been drooling over the Eb2 clone since i saw it the first time....

For the price, it's tempting to buy the 7-string bass! Did you see the name on the bridge on the double-neck in the first link? Overlord Of Music - cool!
