| If those are real shoes it'd be a great buy, if not, it's still pretty cool. |

This one falls into the mystery frypan folder - I've seen more than a few of these "Shot Jackson" versions. This sure looks like factory work - but you wonder how many leftover bodies were laying around after the run and someone had the bright idea to .....
They look like the std SB faux horseshoes to me Ron.
I would think it would be awkward to play with both necks on the same level - I would have offset them 1/2" at least....esp with legs.

I Never understood the reasoning behind the sliding pickup - was the 3/16" really going to alter the tone? And that big body route just looks bad.

| I have one, a single neck model, and it is one very heavy slab of aluminum! In fact, I find it to be quite awkward to move around with on a bandstand or in one's living room.[/b] |

Looks like it would hold a 1.5" pickup... probably why the space is so large. The tone doesn't change much when sliding it around, at least for me. The worst is that control under your palm... very tempted to toss it and go with a stack pot on the opposite side.

| I think a move of 3/16" definitely alters the tone and response of the instrument. Modern day steels like the Canopus, Georgeboard, have the pickup rather far away from the bridge--it gives a fat sound and easy harmonics (probably why the configuration is so popular now)--but I feel it doesn't have the same character of the old Rics and Fenders (I'm pretty certain that's not just in my head). |
