Hi Donald, yes that pic in my avatar is a double neck acoustic lap slide. Customer is a touring musician & wanted something really compact to carry on flights, so lower bout is just 12" wide. She tunes the necks in 'D' and 'E' which didnt make sense to me (why not juts capo?) but guess thats what she uses. Its all hollow-like a big wide weissenborn or dulcimer. Theres a separate pickup under each bridge and a pan between them. Attached a pic for ya of the whole thing, hopefully it goes through.
Cheers, Rory

Hello Donald,

I'm sorry this has taken so long to respond.  I was going through old bookmarks and rediscovered Frets.net.  Guess it's been some time since I've checked my page out.  I'm still teaching full time, as well as being a sculptor who happens to build on the side.  I recently finished a Harp-Mandolin based on an early 1900's Knutzen Harp-Mandolin.

Donald,

Sorry getting back so late I never check this part of the site. Here is a link to pictures of my double neck slide.

It was a cusom order for musician Pura Fe who does a lot of flying- she wanted a double neck that she could carry on. This thing is just around 13" wide and 36" long. Really just a big huge dulcimer with raised frets. Necks are in different tunings so she can play different songs without re-tuning.

 

Cheers,

Rory
