Sure did Russ. It was great to see you with your guitars. Thanks so much for sending them with the descriptions. Boy you must really be in good shape to handle those double neck guitars. They look like they have some real weight to them. But I guess most players don't usually use them for more than a song or two at a time. And I bet that one with the 2 Bigsby's is a real tuning challenge lol. I even get a little tired sometimes just with the weight of my Les Paul over a 4 hour night with the band.
I've seen Cheap Trick a few times now and Rick Nielsen always pulls out some some interesting guitars including the double neck that is modelled on himself. Uses at least one guitar per song and more sometimes.

Fun toys, although some are a little useless. I still have my late 60's Mosrites (one is a mandolin/6, one is a 6/12) and a 62' Carvin double. Others are a Carvin fretted and fretless bass (custom) and a Carvin guitar/bass (also custom). Used it (guitar/bass) for years with bass pedals backing a guitar player/singer. Switched to pedals when I played melody. Solid maple...I'm glad I sat all night. Actually, the Robin is well balanced and not much heavier than a regular Strat. Now, the Gretsch...that's another matter.
These were just laying around. Will choose some more unique, more valuable ones and send photos to you, if you're interested.

Nigel, I can email you about 5 of these silly things if you want to take the time to post one. If you do, please tell everyone to take it easy on the "old man".

Hey Russ can you send me those photos in email. When I turned on my scanner for the first time in a year or more it refused to be recognized by my PC. It is almost 10 years old now so I should have expected it.
