Mosrite combo

I think you guys forgot one minor thing....the weight ratio. A Doubleneck 'Combo' would kill you in the sense of the necks being
too heavy for the body. My Doubleneck STILL is neck heavy with a solid body, you'd be fighting to hold the necks up.........

I was uncomfortable while standing playing my doubleneck, then Doug Brewer passed on to me advice Semie gave to him when he built his doubleneck. Wear the guitar as high as possible to get your elbow to bend about 90 degrees. I shortened the strap about eight inches and it worked fine.

That is good to know Danny. I've wondered about that!

This tactic has been working for me too. Of course the octave neck doesn't affect the center of gravity the way a 12 neck would.

As for the hypothetical Combo doubleneck - isn't a Combo semi-solid? I'd bet it would have a reasonably heavy body, for better or worse!

Heck yes...Combo 6/12!!! that would be a great 'build" thread. Somebody should build a whole series of D/Ns..... brassrail, Ventures 2, bluesbender, ect.
