You are one sick individual, aren't you?
Recent "action shot" of the '1275
(And, no, that's not my amp in the background... like the license frame says, "I'd rather be driving a HIWATT.") You can almost feel the current flowing

I was gonna say - looks like a !Blasphemy! amp to me

I got a feeling that doubleneck would be dragging on the ground if strapped around my neck. Great looking guitar....for you tall guys

No - it wasn't built in Oregon!
Full disclosure: '80s JCM800 2205 (50 watt channel switching w/reverb) into a slant cab with G12M70s. One of those "just bring your guitar" events.
Again, I refer you to the license frame.

I see your strap-side shoulder sagging a little in that shot.

Ha... that's more to do with my chiropractic issues (soon to be remedied) than anything else.
The weight is really not that bad IMO. Seeing the 6-string neck with the 12 in the way takes some getting used to, though.

2009 '59 Les Paul Standard 50th Anniversary Reissue, in gloss
Rustburst.
After a truss rod and bridge adjustment, and a new set of Ernie Ball .009-.046...
...she met my DR504 and a pair of Hylight cabs. It was LOVE at first sight. They were made for each other.

I think the 12-string neck needs a matching Vibrola. Try keeping
that in tune.
