Busuyi's double-necks are up there with the wildest guitar designs of all time: watch below.
Double-neck guitars are nothing new. Indeed, some of modern music’s biggest electric guitar heroes have all dabbled with doubles, which are effectively expanded guitar designs that provide the user unfiltered access to both six-string and 12-string configurations. (Excerpt from Guitar World)
Busuyi Guitars – a brand dedicated to “delivering the future” – has pioneered an all-new approach to this tried-and-trusted template, leading to quite possibly the craziest double-neck guitars you’ll ever see.
Busuyi’s models don’t place the two necks atop each other. Instead, they retain a guitar’s usual dimensions and simply place the additional neck on the back of the body. Effectively, they take two totally different guitars and stick them together back-to-back.
there are 12-string and six-string combo models, but there are also instruments that offer four-string bass and six-string classical fretboards in one package. Likewise, there’s one that sandwiches the neck of a five-string bass guitar next to the fingerboard of a seven-string electric guitar. The perfect double-neck for prog players? Quite possibly.
The list doesn’t end there. Nylon/steel string combos are available, as are models that put fretless bass guitars within touching distance of a seven-string fretboard.
Furthermore, the topsy-turvy treatment means each model has its own respective pickups and controls, which can be found either mounted on the side of the guitar or atop the body itself.
