It allows the player to offer two different sounds in one song without changing guitars. 12 string guitars give you that full jangly sound. (The strings are arranged in six sets of two with the three sets of bass strings an octave apart to produce that sound.) The 6 string neck then allows the more typical rock music sound.

This type of guitar is not used that much (and C. Cross just seems to use the 12 string neck in this song, though he may use both necks in others that he played that evening...)


This double neck guitar was famously used by Don Felder when he played lead on "Hotel California" for The Eagles. The 12 string for the intro and verses and the 6 string (in a duet with Joe Walsh) for the amazing instrumental break.

CT, funnily enough I was awaiting your reply to this and you haven't failed me. You have an amazing insight into the guitar world and you haven't disappointed me. Some great information there, thank you Sir.

Both have provided good information, thanks. I bet it will have also enlightened a few more on here.

Thinking of great guitar players....say no more pardon the pun! So so missed, also a good vocalist as this video shows him live. Phenomenal.

Go on educate me, what guitar is Gary playing?

Looks like a Gibson Les Paul Junior to me.

Edit; With a powerful sustain pedal.

Definitely a Gibson Les Paul. EO probably knows more about these than I do. I couldn't tell you the model.
