BFR Double Neck for Joe Bonamassa

[banjoplayer]

Very cool, the Joe Bonamassa/Steve Morse double neck guitar. Which Pickups are in there?
Is it a regular maple neck or something other? If maple, why finished?

Great!!! Thanks for sharing, BP!!!

[beej]

What a stunner!!! That's fantastic

WOW! Some interesting facts I can tell from the pics:

Baritone is 24 frets, regular scale 22 frets
Both guitars share the same controls, with an added 2 way (or 3 way?) switch to selects between guitars.
Top is a single (cut by half, so two pieces actually) bookmatched piece of flamed maple, just like you would do on a regular flamed maple top guitar, only wider.
Pickups are the Y2D's I guess. Interesting pickup ring there for the bridge pups!

That is simply stunning!

 

[azazael]

Awesome!!
One thing I wonder about these things... are they freebies?

 

[Big Poppa]

It is how it is because we did what the artist requested. Image that? Listening to an artist!

Thanks to the whole crew for getting this done so quickly.

They asked us 3/27 if we could even consider a double neck. On April 9th we had a conference call with Joe and 3 weeks later here she is! Amazing.

The pickups are Y2D except for single coils(custom) and the rings custom made. It has a 2 way selector switch as Joe does not want both guitars on at the same time. The bari neck is a thicker profile than the Y2D, and the body African Mahogany with maple top. No pickguard... 12.3lbs super light!
Joe asked us to finish the back of the neck as he got used to the Petrucci BFR feel. I think the bursting is killer...


We are waiting to hear what he thinks as he should get the guitar tomm in the UK.

Stay tuned!
