An old picture from Glenn Cornick

He was ahead of his time

WHY...? that is the answer to the question you have formulated... certainly rates amongst one of the ugliest instruments I've ever seen... bet it was/is a real neck diver...!

Just a thought... I've seen no double-neck Gibbies in Uwe's collection; would a 4/6 just be...? definitely seen one live and have a good pic of her...

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...

Man,check out all of those knobs and switches. And you can see what a terrible action the thing had.

One of the switches activates the integrated moustache trimmer

It's something to go wild turkey about. Zoom Club Frankfurt - it turned into a Hard Rock Café a few years later. Some legendary bands there.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Uwe... you dodged the double neck query... ? ;)

Bret... I'm not sure that is an "action" issue, more his playing style...

Maybe your right Ken, E string around the 9th fret looks pretty high to me considering he is bending the other strings down and away from the E.

His thumb is planted on the E string, pushing it out and making the action look high, I believe.
