Surfcaster doubleneck????

[kilgoretrout]

I stumbled across and purchased a Charvel Surfacaster double neck 6/12 for a very attractive price. It did not have a case. I have never seen a reference to anything like this. For what it is worth, it is black with the mother of toilet seat pickguard. It looks to be mint. It weighs a ton.


Does anyone know any details about such a guitar? Does anyone know where I could get a case?

Thanks

They made a few of those...maybe a half dozen. I've seen pics of a cherrybusrt (owned by one of the forum members) and a green sparkle that was on ebay a while back. More than likely, you will have to have a case made for it.

I only have seen a few of those doublenecks to date so I do not think they made many.

How does she play, other than the weight..is she neck heavy? I always liked the look of those guitars especially the single necks like Scott Ian played.

Congrats

It plays pretty well. It is a heavy beast. I will take some photos this weekend and post them.

I really would like to find a case. I don't know if I said it before, but I found this thing for like $350. Someone had put an AMG pickup in the twelve string position. I had that taken out, an original pair of lipsticks put back and a new pick guard cut to cover the butchering for the AMG. You can't tell it was modified.

Oops - missed the thing about having a case made for it. Right now, she hangs on the wall with a double set of string-swings that i measured carefully to make sure she hangs perfectly perpendicular to the floor.

[kilgoretrout]

Oh
the lipsticks sound really good on a 12.

[surfdork]

Damn, $350? That is a steal of a price. I have had a few of the 6 string versions, the last being a surf green one I sold for $800.
Now, get after them pics dude!

Sorry to threadjack, but do the 6 strings always sell for more than the 12s?

I watched one of each last week on EBAY and the 6 was nearly double the price of the 12......


That being said Kilgore ..... we need ..... PICS!!!

[surfdork]

The 12's usually do sell for less. That's why if you wanted one, you could get a 12...remove 6 tuners, string it up with 6 strings and go for it.

I can't figure out how to load a picture. I don't have it on a url. I have it on my hard disk. Excuse me for being dumb, but I cant figure this out.

Upload your pics onto a pic hosting site. I use www.photobucket.com, which is free

Then, insert [IMG] URL of your photo [/IMG] into the text of your post, without the spaces between the brackets and the URL of your photo.

Hope this helps!
