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.")

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.

they definitely give your shoulders/back a work out.

it's crazy going back to a single guitar--even a heavy LP. feels like when you swing 3 bats in the on deck circle--when you get up to bat, it hardly feels like you're holding anything.

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.

Hiwatt Bob is vibrola-equipped? Be afraid. Be VERY afraid !

Did you pick that one up off MSP Craigslist?

Dave

thanks!

no, i got it off the Bay.

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