Double Neck Weisenborn Style Guitar

Occasionally one neck is just not enough. After requests from players for something different we came up with a double neck version of the weissenborn style guitar. This allows two tunings on two fretboards and an enlarged body size that produces a big sound with heaps of depth and sustain. Each fretboard has its own personality, related to its position on the large guitar.
The first guitar, pictured below, is made from New Zealand grown Tasmanian blackwood with rosewood fretboards, binding and bridges. The headstock veneers are in birdseye totara, and the rosettes are in paua. This guitar was made for a display of musical instruments at the Waikato Museum, in the New Zealand city of Hamilton.
Sound and pictures of the maker playing this instrument are on Youtube.

The second guitar, pictured below, is made from a combination of woods for Californian guitarist Henry Kaiser, who wanted to utilize the different materials to get as many different sounds in the studio as possible. To cut a long story short, it is really a mahogany weissenborn joined to one made in blackwood.
The fretboards and bridges are made from bookmatched rosewood, and the binding is maple. A feature of the instrument is the spalted applewood used in the rosettes.

These instruments come with shop-made cases in sturdy thick plywood.
