my epiphone copy. The Gibbo has a neck selector switch - either or both -
and a common p/up selector switch. The Epi has a p/up selector switch for
each neck. Means you can have the neck you're not plsying set up ready for
when you switch.
Worst thing about doublenecks, other than the weight unless its a Rick or a
Danelectro, is that you can't actually do what blokes of my generation
wanted one for - the chiming chords at the end of Stairway to Heaven then
into the solo. You can't switch necks quick enough. If you listen to JP
playing live, the band has to wait for him. Although I wanted one before
that, having seen Charlie Whitney of Family play one. All those glorious big
chords he used to play.
Doublenecks had some pretty bad moments in the early seventies. The
Tremeloes guitarist had one for "Me and my life". Worst of all was a group
called, I think, Pilot. Bloody awful.
First one I noticed was The Who on Top of the Pops, Townshend flailing away
at it for "I Can See For Miles". Wonderful.
Does anybody ever use the both-necks-on setting? The unused neck howls away
on its own at any kind of volume, and the tone and volume of the neck you're
playing on suffers from trying to drive the circuitry of the other neck. I
think if I were wiring one from scratch I'd use a single throw switch, of a
kind and in a position where I couldn't knock it accidentally. Under the
forearm is just too easy to knock at the worst possible moment. I might also
think about a p/up blend knob for each neck, although there is the danger of
over-complicating things.
There's a sound you can get with doublenecks that I really love, but I've
never found a musical use for. Turn it up fairly loud and play the dead
neck. You get the harmonics from the other one. An eery, sort of backward
sound.

I remember seeing the Tremeloes perform that song live on TV - Rick
West(wood) was using a standard CBS large-headstock Stratocaster. From
memory, the record contains no twelve-string playing. If he used a d/n on
stage, it must have been connected with other material they were doing.
Pilot were regarded as fairly good at the time - a couple of half-decent
songs, anyway; can't say I have ever seen them on TV or anything.

The first d/n I ever saw was on TV in 1963 - Jed Clampett (!) was wielding a
white Gibson SG-styled model in an episode of "The Beverley Hillbillies".

That is the ultimate, I am impressed. Did you see a programme a few months
ago about a tour of Graceland, there's one building where a team of people
are cataloguing all of Elvis' unwanted gifts etc. He could have made another
fortune on EBay had it been around then. Anyway, the artefact they were at
that moment entering into the records was a brand new, still in its box
cherry red EDS 1275. I don't remember Elvis having a prog period, do you?

I didn't see the programme, but from your description of it, I visualise the
cataloguing team throwing an old child's toy sledge into a furnace.
The sledge bears the painted name "Rosebud"...
