Here's one for ya; Julian Cope and his non reverse thunder/firebird.
Rob Harding, guitarist for Off Broadway, was in a previous band where he used a custom Epiphone twin neck. It had been made from an Embassy and a Coronet. The really cool thing was that he was able to separate them and play them as they were created, or couple them together and use them as a twin neck. I've been trying to find a picture, but this was about 30 years ago (you Chicagoans may recall the band Horace Monster), but no real luck.

Cool. A bit like the Gretsch Bikini series.

In the "In the Beginning Was the End" Devo film, which was their first performance as a band ever, he's playing an EB-0 and I would bet my hat it's the long scale variety. The neck looks far too long to be short scale.
