Cool looks, even if its butt is way too roundy.

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

That butt looks ridiculous. I wonder if there's a reason, i.e. would it do anything to help counteract neck dive?

Makes perfect sense to me Dave. I kinda like the assymetric shape.

When will someone make one of these with the GUITAR on top? Mike Rutherford got it right...

I kinda like the shape too, a lot more elegant than just keeping it regularly round.

The headstock shape reminds me of the Brice headstocks

Brice and Agile are both distributed here by Rondo Music. Could be the same factory.

I know of two PC Firebird doublenecks...

Who'd be up for a Thunderbird/Firebird hybrid...?
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I'd want a double neck with two basses.

Fretted/fretless
or
Long scale/short scale
or
4-string/8-string
or
4 string/bariton

Nothing cries "70ies gear hedonism" louder than a doubleneck! Or two.
