since we're talking about joe maphis doulbenecks, one time I found on ebay a double neck joe maphis style mosrite from the early 70's, with the 70's style head stock and logo, and both 12 string and 6 string guitars had mosrite humbuckers in them. has anyone else come across a mosrite like this?

I've only seen a few 70's doublenecks, and they usually appear to be leftover 60's bodies with newer 70's necks, pickups, etc. I have seen a 70's double with an octave neck too.

Joe Maphis cast such a wide net, there were always these hillbillies coming to Semie wanting a darn doubleneck like Joe, so he would build up something on a custom basis any time he could sell them one (Semie usually charged a huge amount of money for these things, around 1200 dollars in 1960, or roughly 8-10,000 today!!).
