This guitar was put together from two Fender stratocasters by a very talented
recording engineer at a studio that sometimes gives me their guitars to work on.
The owner is a very talented guitarist who hadn't had time to finish the project.
See below for the work that went into making this a very cool doubleneck guitar!
