No matter how hard and complicated that thing is, many individuals managed to have fun with it. Known today as double neck guitar, it is a cool yet complex instrument used by musicians nowadays and even from the past.
It’s a build-and-customized-it-yourself item in which you can choose what to have in each neck, whether you like it a fretless top and a bass on lower necks or vice versa. Some guitarist depends it on what piece they are going to play. The early double neck guitar, known as the Schrammel guitar of the 1850’s, has a fretted top neck with six strings and a fretless lower neck with nine strings and above.
Most rock bands owned one for a multi-functional play and rhythm. No need for an extra hand for an extra sound and beat. With this guitar, two hands can play two sounds and beat without consuming much time to change guitars. In this case, agility, flexibility, smooth motion and other factors were needed to play it perfectly or well. Some guitar players customize their guitars in a way they place the strings in different positions (for example is the bass guitar) for ease.
If thinking of playing a double neck guitar is cool, how much more to know that there is a four-neck guitar? Awesome, right? Three-neck and other more-than-one-neck guitars do exist in electric, acoustic and hybrid versions, while others have necks of guitar and a harp, an octave and even a violin. This complex guitar has gained recognition and is now widely used.
Dating from the Renaissance period, multi-neck guitars along with lutes were used for entertainment and occasions. This instrument existed long before it was used by the Guns and Roses and other bands for their finger-picking plucking moves and head-banging, adrenalized music.
