It has been two centuries since the creation of the double neck guitar. There are many popular musicians that have used this guitar for a number of reasons. The unique structure of the guitar means that artists can do things that would not normally be possible.

This guitar was first released in 1958 which was the year that the company introduced a number of iconic guitars. This guitar was not only unique due to the double neck but also the fact that one neck had 12 strings and the other had 6.

Many artists find that they have to change guitars partway through songs and having two guitars in one makes this simple as there is no actual change. However these guitars can be expensive so many musicians cannot use them. In addition to the price the manufacture of many models has been discontinued. The only way you can get them is to order them from a custom store.
A musical icon that has been around for decades is one way to describe the double neck guitar. The reasons for why artists want to use these guitars are many.
