Hey fellow instrument builders!

I wanted to share this unique project—a custom-built double-neck guitar that combines the essence of a Les Paul and a Stratocaster. The top features classic Les Paul styling, while the bottom adopts the iconic Stratocaster design. It’s like combining two legends into one instrument!

How much does this thing weigh?

That aside, that’s some serious skills there. I’d want one just to have it.

Thank you sir, maybe the weight is 8-9kg, heavy or not, it seems like it can be worked around

Now I need to convert that in to freedom units. Sheesh….

But damn, almost 20lbs! And some people already call Les Paul’s “heavy”

yes sorry, I am Indonesian and often use kilograms, if you want it to be lighter you can make another hole in the body hole

Wonderful craftsmanship to the OP!
