Looks like he has a pedal hooked up to one of the necks. You can just see the rod underneath the diamond on the right side.

Here's a resized picture that's a little easier to view. Yes, it looks like two Dual Pros. I like the amps!

Looks to me like a Custom Triple 8 with a single Deluxe 8. The controls would be between the two necks of a double. Very cool pic and I agree, cool amps. Wish I had a couple of those.

Yes, the neck selector switch looks like a Custom (T-8 ) switch.
I'm beginning to think that this is a home-made body with Custom/Pro parts mounted on it.
The narrow-panel tweed amp on the far right was introduced by Fender in 1955-56,
so the picture has to about (or later than) '55-56.

The 1st. (inside) neck would be the one that was added to a Fender T-8 Custom. And if the guitar had a pedal on it, it is/was most likely a dream-child of the late Shot Jackson! Shot could build just about anything anyone could dream up! In the mid-70's Shot built me a Custom~Made Quad~10 Sho-Bud!
